During this week administrate morning medicine to clients. I kept my focus on the usage of insulin pen.I revised my knowledge about the sign and symptoms of diabetes,which drugs are available for treatments.I also checked the dietry instructions in case of this disease.As it is quite important to consider diet changes with the pharmacological treatment.I read about the rule of 100 .The 100 rule (1800 rule for mg/dl) has been used to find the insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), that is, how many mmol/l (or mg/dl) 1 unit of insulin lowers the blood glucose level. ISF equals 100 divided by TDD (1800 divided by TDD for mg/dl).With my mentor I injeected insulin via insulin pen couple of time.
Although I knew the usage instructions of insuline pen, but it is always good to revise it to update knowledge and improve clinical skills.
