208
Called in ED to see pt with T1DM on pump. Current BG 20. Urine ketone negative. - Give basal rate - Bolus 1 U per 12g - TDD= 40 U Tx: - low carb diet, no extra insulin - start IV infusion 0.05 U/kg/hour - D/C pump and given rapid 2U - Use pump to give 5 U bolus
Use pump to give 5 U "In general give 10-20% of TDD" - no ketone= no DKA= don't need infusion - need more insulin seen even without carb need more sugar (to account for pain, less activity if injury) - 2 U insufficient - Correct Factor= 100/40= ~2 so 1 unit drop BG by 2. So need at least 5 units.
