insulin regime

[coffeekat]

Hello,

i would like to ask a what is the purpose of adding 50units of Actrapid to 50ml of Gelofusin and the patient admit for hyperglycemia with poor DM control. The dr is adjusting the dose of insulin. But i just wonder why Gelofusin but not others?

thanks!

It was not my pt so I don't know all the particulars, but I remeber the other student saying that the pt told her that all she remebered was falling down at home and waking up in the hospital a few weeks later! Thanks for the reply though.
