The Type 1 patient is at home ill with a viral infection. What 4 pieces of nursing education might the clinic nurse provide? 

  • 4 principles of sick day management:
  • maintaining hydration and carbohydrate intake- 8 calories of liquid for every hour- caffeine free,
  • monitoring blood glucose and ketone levels Blood sugar every 2-4 hours. Blood or urine ketones every 4 hours or until regular results are obtained
  • adjusting diabetes medications according to carbohydrate intake, blood glucose and ketone levels. Stop metformin, can cause lactic acidosis. Continue insulin.
