• Continue to test blood glucose and ketones. Continue to take correction insulin injections as told until

your blood glucose reaches your target level.

• If your blood glucose is less than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) and ketones are present, drink liquids with

calories. Some examples of caloric fluids are juice and non-diet soda. Also, extra insulin may be needed.

Contact your healthcare professional for guidelines for insulin doses when ketones are present.

Tip: You should have a meter, glucose strips, and ketones strips handy at all times. This way you are always

ready to test your blood glucose and ketones.

Sick day management

Managing diabetes during an illness or infection requires frequent blood glucose and urine

ketone testing. Illness and infection put extra stress on the body and often raise blood

glucose. The insulin pump allows you to make changes. It lets you quickly and easily respond

to blood glucose changes due to illness and infection.

Even if you are not able to eat, you need insulin. Depending on blood glucose testing, you

may or may not need to adjust your basal insulin to cover your needs. You may also need

to take frequent correction boluses during illness.

Sick day protocol

• Test your blood glucose every two hours, 24 hours a day.

• Check urine ketones every time you urinate.

• If you are throwing up and/or have ketones, you must call your healthcare professional. They will give

you the proper treatment with fluids and insulin to avoid DKA.

• Consult your healthcare professional about taking more insulin if your blood glucose is 250 mg/dL (13.9

mmol/L) or higher. Also take more insulin when ketones are fair or large.

• Keep exact records of your blood glucose values, ketones, medication, temperature and all other signs.

• Keep in mind that you need more insulin and fluids when there are urine ketones. This is true even if

your blood glucose is within your target range.

Sick day supplies

You should have the supplies listed below in the house at all times, and carry them with you when you travel:

• Fluids that have sugar (regular soda, juice, jello) to replace solid food.

• Sugar-free liquids (diet drinks, bouillon, water) for replacing lost fluids.

• Thermometer.
