Description
According to the CDC, 10% of our US population has Diabetes Mellitus, representing 34 million Americans. Nurses frequently encounter patients with diabetes as a comorbidity. In addition to knowing about diabetes in general, nurses need to recognize, and know how to treat diabetic emergencies. This session will outline the causes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, treatments, and nursing actions for three diabetic emergencies including hypoglycemia, DKA and HHNS.
