Paul, just wondering, but what does SD mean?
Hi Sarah,
I'm using SD as an abbreviation for "Standard Deviation," which is the measurement of how much the individual readings vary from the average. Take for example, if you had two glucose readings of 50 and 250, the average would be 150, not a bad average but both of these reading individually are pretty bad. On the other hand if you had two readings of 145 and 155, the average of these two readings would also be 150 and both of these readings individually are pretty good. In the first case (50 and 250) the standard deviation would calculate out to 70.71. In the second case (145 and 155) the standard deviation would calculate out to just 7.07 (ten times less than the first case). In terms of blood sugar averages, the LOWER the standard deviation, the better.
There's an online calculator for standard deviation at this web address (Click on it.): Standard Deviation Calculator You put all your readings in the box separated by commas and click on calculate, It will give you the "mean" (which is another word for average, plus a couple of different forms of the standard deviation. If the standard deviation is a large number it would indicate wide swings in blood sugar readings, whereas a smaller number would indicate consistency,
Interesting, Paul. I've never heard of standard deviation before. Thanks!

Hi... the dietician told me there have to be 5 grams of fiber or more before you can subtract it out. I'm like you... I did it and needed more insulin. Oh well... good luck everybody!
For me anyway, 5 grams extra of fiber (carbs) would require 1/3 to 1/2 unit of insulin more or less. If it were incorrect, it would mean a difference of 10-15 mg/dL in blood sugar reading. It's unusual that my boluses are that precise. My pump is set for a target blood sugar of 85-90 mg/dL, but my good daily averages are more often in the 105-115 mg/dL range. There are too many other factors which make it nearly impossible to calculate boluses that precisely.
