Emedinews:Makesure: A patient on 10 units of insulin developed hypoglycemia after taking light breakfast.


Situation: A patient on 10 units of insulin developed hypoglycemia after taking light breakfast.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was the insulin dose not reduced?
Lesson: Make sure that insulin dose is correct. The formula is 500/total daily dose. The value will be the amount of sugar fluctuation with 10 grams of carbohydrates.
