I'm MICU senior this month and wanted to see if you guys could offer some advice on closing DKA. I give em fluids, wait to see the K on the BMP then start insulin drip. When BS less than 250 I start D5NS, let them eat and then give sub Q insulin one hour before turning off the drip.
My question is do yall have a method to calculating how much sub Q insulin they get? Do you extrapolate from the insulin drip? Any other tips? Thanks.
