Does anyone have a sliding scale for use with Novalog?

Need to know how to correct my husbands highs and lows with Novolag

Unfortunately using a "sliding scale"  will never get rid of highs and lows.   AND  every person is different, so the amount of insulin I need to lower my BG could very well kill your husband.   Using Insulin is difficult for me to explain. what is needed is carb counting, with an Insulin/Carb ratio  plus insulin/BG ratio.  

I can recommend a book   using insulin by John Walsh

Best of luck
