well, I've been doing this work for 30 years and SOAP format was a big deal in the late 70s-80s too, but for URBAN hospitals and surgeons, they rarely use the SOAP format. Don't know where your *clinics* are (small town?) but in big big cities they have trended away from the SOAP format, for the most part. It's a rare SOAP I get over years. Also, the private surgeons I work for (5 of them) never use that format. I suppose hospitalists might but mine do not.

Insulin (sm)
Subject: Insulin (sm)
Insulin is usually the same concentration here in the US with U-100 insulin being 100 units/mL, so I don't think that it would mean 150 units/3 mL or anything like that. I'm not sure what the dictator is trying to say though. Usually a sliding scale is based on actual blood sugar minus target blood sugar divided by the correction factor. For example, my son's correction factor is 1 unit of insulin per 200 mg/dL over the target blood sugar of 120. If his blood sugar was 400, you would subtract 120 to get 280 and then divide that by 200 to get the total units of insulin, in this case 1.4 units. I know that probably doesn't help much with your report, but maybe it will be useful information for you someday.

Does anyone know of a site where I could get information regarding dosage for insulin? I have a doctor that dictates the units so quickly that I'm not sure what she wants, i.e., 6 units s/l 60 and 16, 4 sounds like 40, etc. I'm not familiar with insulin dosages and would like to learn. Thanks.
Here's the sentence currently in question if anyone can advise:
We did her A1c a couple of weeds ago and it was 8.1. I had asked her to increase her NovoLog to s/l 4 (or 40) units with breakfast, s/l 4 (or 40) units with lunch, and s/l 6 (or 16) units with supper.

My company has started voice recognition and whenever the word "insulin" is used by itself, no brand names or anything it comes in with a capital I - Insulin - I disagree with this and am trying to get the "bosses" to fix it. I think it looks silly -" patient is on Insulin" Anyone agree or disagree. Thanks in advance.

Could she be saying Lantus insulin
Subject: Could she be saying Lantus insulin
and then the numbers are blood sugar numbers and what to do if they are in between those particular numbers, but I think you are missing how many units at 151-206, try to hear 200, 6 units, 201-258, maybe 250 with 8 units and after the 300 give units? but how many? Hope this is not more confusing.

Is this correct? I was taught it the R was capitalized, but maybe things have changed. My Stedman's says Regular, but I know I read in my company newsletter that it was a small R. I don't want to get a critical error. Guess where I work????

Thank you! I didn't think it should be but you never know. I know the brand names like Humulin and Lantus are but it kind of puzzled me to see "regular" capitalized.
