I have this patient : female, obese with an infection
problem is no matter how much insulin you inject her glycemia is always almost the same
4mg/dl~
at admission the insulin was working with 30 units it goes to normal ...but not anymore..
started giving her IV insulin and still no result makes you wonder if injected it at all :/
the Doctor is not helping ..
is this normal with an infection ? I haven't encountered a patient this irresponsible to insulin before
I'm guessing she got around 150 units of rapid insulin in 10 hours with no change in her blood sugar and she's been like that for days ...
