I lost my chart and need to know how much insulin to take when my sugar is high.
For example 3 units when my sugar is 200 or over up to 5 units up to sugar level 210 etc. I can't remember what I should do because Im fairly new at this insulin taking.

DO NOT use a chart you find online.
Every person's insulin sensitivity is different and if you use a chart that was made for a different person it could have disastrous results. Call your doctor and ask for your chart, or at least your correction ratio. If you know your correction ratio (ie 1 unit of insulin will bring your blood sugar down by X amount) you can re-create the chart yourself.
