Diabetes Guidelines when Your Patient is Hyperglycemic
Mom would often be hard to understand when she is experiencing Hyperglycemia. Her intense mood swings is brought about by the discomfort of her diabetic condition. Having her under my care, it could be very physically and emotionally draining if I had not known of the diabetes guidelines. These diabetes guidelines were very helpful for me in understanding her condition and knowing the right measures to take control her diabetic symptoms.
What I would do in this situation is try to calm her down then suggest taking her blood pressure. The next test I would take is her blood sugar level. If everything comes out too high, I tell her to relax and take two glasses of water along with her medications. Back then she was taking one tablet each of Diamicron and Glucophage, the doctor recommended prescription medication. If those measures still don’t work, I try to remove whatever factors are stressing her (like housework) and let her relax for the whole afternoon or give her a massage.
