Abstract

Answer B. Reduce blood glucose testing to once or twice daily
During the last days to weeks of life, if blood sugars are stable on the individual’s current regimen, testing can be stepped down to one or two times per day. Testing can be done at different times of the day to give a picture of the blood sugar levels over a number of days.
