Effects of injected insulin

Effects of injected insulin?
Recently, my mom got sick and she needs strong medications. However, her doctor (internal med) said that her blood glucose must go down for the meds to work (she has diabetes mellitus). So now she injects insulin twice a day (she uses the pen type- 20 units per shot) She complains being weak and constantly hungry. Is this the effect of the insulin? Her doctor said she has to undergo insulin treatment for 6 months. Does she have to experience all these as side effects?
Diabetes - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
If she's injecting insulin, she needs to test her blood sugar regularly as well. Her symptoms MIGHT be because her blood sugar is too low, but they might also be from something else. She needs to check her blood sugar at least twice a day, and keep track of it.
2 :
if your blood sugar goes down enough, you'll feel sick like you can't breathe almost, get sweaty, fatigued. all that good stuff. but don't let her sugar go too far down or up. cuz that can lead to diabetic comma.
3 :
No, she shouldn't have symptoms from injected insulin. Insulin itself should have no side effects. If the symptoms are related to the insulin at all, two things may be happening now. 1) Her body may be so used to running at a high blood sugar that she is experiencing low blood sugar symptoms at a normal blood sugar. These symptoms should go away once her body has time to adjust. 2) She may not be taking the right amount of insulin for her body's needs, and she could be having low blood sugars. She will need to treat the low blood sugar with a high carb food (lots of people use juice) and talk to her doctor about changing the insulin dose she is taking. The only way to know what is happening is to test her blood sugar. She should test (at least) before taking insulin, before bed, and any time she is feeling the symptoms you describe above. Most people on insulin test 5+ times a day. Many test 10+ times. If the blood sugar is lower than her doctor recommends (I'll treat anything lower than 70, especially if I feel low blood sugar symptoms) she needs to eat something.
4 :
Hello. I just started insulin 6 weeks ago. Since being on it, I'm not as hungry as I was before and I have been eating less food. I will assume it is because I have less glucose in my blood and more of it is getting to my cells which means I have enough fuel for my body to function. When my sugars are high, I'm very hungry and thirsty. The nurse told me to be aware of low blood sugar when taking insulin and to take your levels daily. You should know the signs of low blood sugar and what to do. Best thing to do is to ask a health professional concerning side effects.

Physicians, kindly answer my inquiry.

Physicians, kindly answer my inquiry.?
First question: Am I going to give a calcium channel blocker (Nifedipine) to my aunt whose BP is 170/90? She doesn't know her usual BP. I got her BP for three times, and it's still 170/90. She is not taking any maintenance medications for her chronic hypertension. She usually eats garlic and usually excuses herself for not taking maintenance medication for hypertension. She always claim that she is healthy even though it is very obvious that it is not. She has many varicose veins. Btw, She has type 2 diabetes mellitus. She is now 65 years old. Second question: My sister (16y/o) suffered from a severe abdominal pain a while ago. PR:89 bpm, RR: 18 cpm, BP: 90/60. Her pain scale ranges from 6-10. She applied liniment to somehow relieve the pain on her abdomen. Afterwards, she took Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide). Is it right to self-medicate herself? Thank you so much!

Wait -- you say she's not taking any antihypertension meds, but you're going to give her Nifedipine? Is this HER Nifedipine that her doctor prescribed for HER? She should see a doctor to determine what medication she should be taking (and not what someone on Yahoo Answers tells her to take). Garlic is found to have some cholesterol lowering properties, but not much to do with blood pressure. As far as your sister's abdominal pain - if it hurts that much, she should probably see a doctor. Is it more of a muscle-like pain or does it seem more internal?

Can someone help me with this nursing scenario

Can someone help me with this nursing scenario?
I'm in nursing school and I just wanted some opinions on handling this med administration scenario before my exam coming up. (I don't want to miss anything) Please tell me what nursing considerations I should be aware of when administering these drugs. The scenario includes a man with afib who had a fall at home recently and has fractured some ribs in his left side. He has a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. He has no allergies and his blood glucose levels are stabilized when using insulin. My initial assessment would reveals a blood glucose of 6.4, temp 36.8, apical pulse 68 (reg), resps 22, BP 130/70, SPO2 96% RA, pain rating of 6/10 on his ribs, His meds are: Digoxin, morphine, Restoril, heparin, hydrochlorothiazide and humulin R and humulin N insulins. Thanks!

Hi, I don't know if I will be of much help; I'm only a first year nursing student. I would say, of course start off with the recommended or suggested dosage of medication prescribed by a physician or the nurse and take vital signs q2h for a little bit and increase to q4h. Taking his blood glucose levels. Observe his nonverbal expressions and I guess you can ask him how he is doing, how has the pain changed, and what not? Definitely look at side effects and whether or not the medications are effective. Is that a safe combination of medications to hand out? o__o I'm not too sure :( .. ahaha. Definitely consider cultural impacts or his beliefs/values as well and what he thinks of taking all of the meds.
