A Blood Glucose Level (BGL) Of $120 \mathrm{mg} \text { per } \mathrm{dL}$

Essay

A blood glucose level (BGL) of $120 \mathrm{mg} \text { per } \mathrm{dL}$ is desired. The standing order for this patient is:
Give 1 unit of insulin for every $10 \mathrm{mg}$ above $120 \mathrm{mg} \text { per } \mathrm{dL}$ .
Give 1 unit of insulin for every $10 \mathrm{~g}$ carbohydrates (CHO) consumed.
Calculate the total number of units of insulin that will be required for a BGL reading of $140 \mathrm{mg} \text { per } \mathrm{dL}$ and $21 \mathrm{~g} \text { CHO }$ consumed. Round answers to the nearest whole number.
