Uhms didn’t bother me. Very informative. Only thing is at the end you stated why diabetics get retinopathy, would’ve liked the explanation for why diabetics experience the other medical issues
Most oral glucose tubes contain 15 g of sugar. About as much as a banana. Patient who is already hyperglycemic, is already showing s/s. So you don't want administer oral glucose, but if you accidentally do it's not too harmful.
Hope this helps!

Why won't administering oral glucose to an already hyperglycemic patient present with any harmful effects?
Most oral glucose tubes contain 15 g of sugar. About as much as a banana. Patient who is already hyperglycemic, is already showing s/s.
So you don't want administer oral glucose, but if you accidentally do it's not too harmful.
