Feedback:
Client and family teaching should include signs and symptoms associated with under- and overdosage, instructions on how to adjust the dosage up or down, how to keep a record of the response to therapy, and the importance of wearing medical identification. There is no need for the client and family to monitor blood glucose levels.
