In this Defining Diabetes episode, Scott and Jenny explain insulin sensitivity factor (ISF)\\u2014or correction factor\\u2014which is how many points one unit of insulin will drop your blood glucose level. They discuss how the ISF is initially determined, that it does not necessarily remain the same throughout the day, and the importance of considering modifications to the ISF value for hormonal or other changes along with other setting changes.
