RT is a 49-year-old with type 1 diabetes, admitted to a local hospital to treat Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA). RT is on an insulin drip, fluids and potassium replacement therapy and is getting hungry. The IV insulin is running at 2 units an hour and the RTs usual insulin dose at home is 12 units glargine at bedtime and 3-4 units of lispro before meals.
Before stopping the IV insulin, what is the most important action?
- Maintenance of glucose less than 200 for at least 4 hours
- Give 3 units of bolus insulin via IV and at least 6 units of glargine
- Evaluate labs to make sure that RT is ketone negative
- Determine if potassium replacement is still needed
