Empowering Patients to make insulin adjustments safely by giving Providers simple
resources.
It is already painful enough
Shot Sheets were designed to simplify insulin dosing for the patient while allowing a healthcare provider to safely and confidently adjust doses.
​
Perfect for people who are busy, new to insulin dosing, facing language barriers, living with low levels of literacy or numeracy, and for the millions of people who need insulin without access to cutting edge technology.
Patients taking sliding scale insulin can use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) or fingerstick readings to identify a glucose level and the Shot Sheet that corresponds with their prescription to swiftly identify how much insulin to take based on their sliding scale.
Patients can purchase a wall poster, mousepad, water bottle, smartphone wallpaper, or wallet size version of your Shot Sheet for easy accessible reference.
​
Prescribers, stop spending your precious time with patients showing them how to calculate a sliding scale dose. No more avoiding prescribing needed insulin. Just hand your patient the Shot Sheet for their needs. If their insulin needs change while on steroids, pregnant, during acute illness, or with changes in medication, weight, or renal function simply, provide them a different Shot Sheet that reflects the dose you recommend.
Insulin sliding scales made easy.
