I’ve been in nursing for 22 yrs, I feel like diabetics are just getting sicker, and more people diagnosed than ever before. 50u isn’t even crazy. But I also notice more pts with the mind set of instead of monitoring or adjusting diet, they adjust insulin dose.

Endocrinologist called me to tell me to give my patient 25 units after I held it because the initial BG was 68 (145 after glucose gel). So I gave it and their BG dropped to 36 overnight! 🫠🫠

When I was a night district nurse 75 units of tresiba had me calling the night co-ordinator to check the script on the system as I was the first out to give it after the patient was discharged from hospital.
