Abstract

Method for monitoring insulin medication in which blood sugar values are determined before and after a meal. The difference between these measured values is plotted against a quotient calculated from the bread units ingested during the meal and the insulin units used to compensate for these bread units. Displaying many such points on a graph provides criteria for improving the insulin medication.
