RT has type two diabetes and has been maintaining a time and range of 70% or greater. However, when they show up at the office, the last week’s time in range dropped to 30%. You ask what was different this week from the previous few months. RT tells you they went on a five day fishing trip and forgot their insulin.
What’s the best response?
- Next time, make sure to take your insulin and put it in the refrigerator for safekeeping.
- Before we dive into the diabetes stuff, tell me about your fishing trip.
- I’m worried that you’re going get complications due to high blood glucose levels.
- I’m just relieved you did not go into diabetes ketoacidosis.
