    A nurse is providing teaching to a school-age child who has a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the child indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Insulin should still be taken when sick, as illness can cause elevated blood glucose levels. B. Eating a snack before physical activity, like playing soccer, helps prevent hypoglycemia, which can occur due to increased glucose use during exercise. C. While this range is appropriate for adults, school-age children may have slightly different target ranges (typically 90–180 mg/dL). D. Insulin should never be frozen; it should be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature if in use.
