Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Children with diabetes are not more prone to illness, but when they get sick it can often be complicated by erratic blood sugars and ketones. Additional monitoring, as well as fluid and insulin replacement are often required to support the child with diabetes. This presentation will explore the components necessary to manage diabetes during times of illness. Join Michelle McMillan, RN, CDE as she compares how the body uses energy during periods of optimal health versus illness. Michelle will discuss the necessary interventions to reverse and treat ketosis, the components of ketone or sick day dosing, and the need for activity restrictions during period of ketosis. This program will help the school nurse understand why a physician’s order is required to administer the care necessary for illness during a state of ketosis and the criteria for seeking emergency care.
