diabetes illness plan

an illness plan for people with diabetes usually covers things like:

  • how often to test blood sugar and what the target range is.
  • whether and how to adjust the dose and timing of insulin or other diabetes medicines.
  • what to do if you have trouble keeping food or fluids down.
  • when to call your doctor.

the plan is designed to help keep your diabetes in control even though you are sick. when you have diabetes, even a minor illness can cause problems.
