I had a patient the other day i was taking for a fall in her nursing home, all her vitals were wnl except when I took her sugar and wrote it down, she asked what it was. It was 94. She then says "oh no, that's really low. My sugar is usually around 170" she has no history of dm. The patient was alert and oriented, andwering all my questions before that so I believed her. I wasn't sure if to give glucose despite her sugar being wnl, or to give it because it's low for her norm. I ended up giving her oral glucose per standing orders and transporting.
I was wondering if that was the right call or not.
Thanks
