Realistically a sample size of 50 is unlikely in the sample i am researching (SQ insulin vs. IV insulin in the management of uncomplicated diabetic ketoacidosis) because this would require a year or so of data collection. Or if anyone can find a website that does the calculation I would be grateful.

Group 1 = IV insulin
Group 2 = SQ insulin

T test would be the given formula.
Excuse my potential ignorance, but is power analysis the same as confidence level
