Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Apidra as follows:
- Do not change the dose on Apidra insulin without consulting your doctor.
- Physical exercise, as ordered by the physician, will help improve the efficiency of Apidra administered. Maintain compliance with any exercise schedule prescribed by your doctor. Try not to overdo on your exercise, as this might lower your blood sugars and precipitate an episode of hypoglycemia.
- Take a blood sugar reading always before you take the Apidra shot. Maintain a log of every day blood sugar readings for comparative feedback, as to how well Apidra is helping to control the blood sugars.
- Keeping a track of frequency of episodes of low blood sugars, despite eating regularly, can help your physician change the plan regarding managing your blood sugars.
- Also, notify your doctor, if the blood sugar continues to be high, despite taking Apidra as recommended, so that, your dose could be revised.
