Can you suggest a means to get my dementia patient to let me take her blood sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably needs help: Depending on the level of dementia, it may be impossible to get her to take care of herself with a blood glu. Someone may need to do it for her. Also, i would recommend that her diabetes treatment regimen be simplified as much as possible so that freq blood glu not necessary. Hypoglycemia may be a much greater risk than hyperglycemia.
