This will keep a record of the BGL and the injected insulin in the pump. Your injected insulin will be calculated in your pump active insulin
It is ok for basal insulin to be running at this time
Urgent dose will change as PTDD changes. Please update this dose regularly.
PTDD is accessed in you pump history or from your download report:
Continue to re-check BGL & Ketones 2 hourly until BGL <15 mmol/L and ketones < 0.6 mmol/L.
For RCH patients, 24/7 sick day support is available. Call the RCH switchboard 9345 5522 and ask for the “diabetes sick day service”.
You will not know your new line is working until the effect of your injected insulin has finished. Be aware – Every line change carries the risk of line failure.
If your BGL and ketones remain elevated, assume line failure and give injected insulin.
If the Ketones are >3.0mmol/L and/or your child has been vomiting for two hours, it is recommended that you present to hospital for urgent medical assessment.
