A diabetic educator is discussing ""sick day rules"" with a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. The educator is aware that the client will require further teaching when the client states what?

The answer is I will not take my insulin on the days when I am sick, but I will certainly check my blood sugar every 2 hours.

Explanation:

The important thing for a patient with diabetes type 1 is that he should not skip insulin even is he is sick. Some people require more insulin on days when they are sick than on healthy days.

Also, the doctor usually recommends to check blood glucose levels at least 4 to 10 times a day if you are suffering from diabetes type 1.
