RISK FOR UNSTABLE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL (CARE PLAN GUIDE)

This is my first post regarding Care Plans in English. All  information in this blog about care plans is just a guide as they need to be individualized and rationales (which I omitted) should be included, each diagnosis developed is based on NANDA International label.

Common Risk Factors
-Insulin deficiency or insulin excess.
