This Week’s Questions:
You have a patient who has type 1 diabetes and, despite
her excellent readings (in her log book) with multiple daily injections,
her A1c remains very high: 12% to 14%. She has used an insulin pump,
but the results didn't change. What would you do?
1. Adjust the basal
dose of insulin if the patients fasting BG is elevated
2. Adjust the bolus calculations and dose if
postprandial readings are elevated.
3. Supply a new BG meter
4. Call the patients pharmacy to check the amount
of insulin being purchased.
5. All of the Above
6. 1 and 3
7. 3 and 4
