1. Assess the patient's dietary patterns, caloric intake, stress levels, and understanding of their treatment regimen. Weigh the patient regularly and monitor for nausea/vomiting. 2. Teach the importance of regular meals and snacks when taking insulin. Demonstrate self-monitoring of blood sugar levels using a finger-stick method to adjust insulin doses. 3. Provide information on any needed changes to diabetic management during pregnancy, such as changing medications or meal timing. Adjust the diet or insulin regimen based on weight gain and lab results.

snacks (e.g., three meals or 4 snacks) when taking
insulin.

Eating very frequent small meals improves insulin


function.

6. Teach and demonstrate client to monitor sugar


using a finger-stick method.

R: Insulin needs for the day can be adjusted based on


periodic serum glucose readings. Note: Values
obtained by reflectance meters may be 10-15%
lower/higher than plasma levels.

7. Provide information regarding any required


changes in diabetic management; e.g., use of human
insulin only, changing from oral diabetic drugs to
insulin, self-monitoring of serum blood glucose levels
at least twice a day and reducing/changing time for
ingesting carbohydrates.

R: Metabolism and maternal/fetal needs fluctuates


during the gestation period, requiring close
monitoring and adaptation. Because pregnancy
provides severe morning glucose intolerance, the first
meal of the day should be small, with minimal

8. Instruct client to treat symptomatic hypoglycemia,


if it occurs, with an 8-oz glass of milk and to repeat in
15 minutes if serum glucose levels remain below 70
mg/dl.

R: Using plenty of simple carbohydrates to treat


hypoglycemia causes serum glucose values to elevate.

9. Discuss the type of insulin, dosage and schedule


(e.g., usually 4 times/day: 7:30am-NPH; 10am-regular;
4pm-NPH; 6pm-regular).

R: Division of insulin dosage considers basal maternal


needs and mealtime insulin-to-food ratio and allows
more freedom in meal-scheduling.

10. Adjust diet or insulin regimen to meet individual


needs.

R: Prenatal metabolic needs change throughout the


trimesters, and adjustment is determined by weight
gain and laboratory test results.

appropriate.

R: Provides an opportunity to review the management


of both pregnancy and diabetic condition, and to plan
for special needs during intrapartum and postpartum
