The nurse is educating a client who has been newly prescribed acarbose in addition to repaglinide for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Which statement made by the client indicates that the teaching has been effective?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Both acarbose and repaglinide can cause hypoglycemia. Carrying glucose tablets or gels is a good practice because they can quickly raise blood sugar levels during an episode of hypoglycemia.
