task

Your child's teacher will ask you in which range the blood sugar is normal before meals. What do you say or what do you say?

0 to 300 mg/dl or 0 to 16 mmol/l

50 to 150 mg/dl or 2.7 to 8.0 mmol/l

70 to 150 mg/dl or 4 to 8 mmol/l

200 to 300 mg/dl or 11.0 to 16.0 mmol/l

Right! It probably makes sense to give the educator an even larger target range for the after-meal values than you accept at home. A target range that defines when further interventions are necessary, for example 70 to 300 mg/dl or 4 to 16 mmol/l.

Try again later! Tip: From what value does a hypo have to be treated, from what value is it corrected? ATTENTION: Unfortunately, the app does not know your child's personal target values! Which values are closest?

task

You go with your child or you go to a new doctor. It measures blood sugar and tells you if your blood sugar is abnormally high or low. She also asks what unit your child's or your blood sugar is measured in. What is the conversion factor from mg/dl to mmol/l or vice versa?

Right! A blood sugar of 180 mg/dl divided by 18.02 results in 9.8 or around 10.0 mmol/l.

Try again later! In Germany, blood sugar is measured in mg/dl in some medical facilities and in mmol/l in some. Both units are valid. 180 mg/dl corresponds to approx. 10 mmol/l. There are also numerous conversion tables on the www.

Your child's or your blood or tissue sugar was 62mg/dl (3.4mmol/l) 5 minutes ago. Your child has or you have eaten fast carbohydrates. The blood sugar has now been measured, or the glucose sensor shows a value of 68 mg/dl (3.7 mmol/l). What do you have to do or what do you have to do now?

Eat more fast carbohydrates

wait another ten minutes

inject correction

Skip insulin at the next meal

Correct! The eaten or drunk sugar needs time to be absorbed from the intestine into the blood and to be transported through the body to the measuring point.

Try again later! Tip: Can you be at the kitchen table and at the mailbox at the same time? How much time do you need from A to B?

Your child has or you have just eaten a pear. Your child has informed you that he is feeling bad or you notice that you are feeling bad. Before the insulin injection for the pear, a value of 188mg/dl (10.4mmol/l) was measured. The blood sugar is measured again and is now at 432mg/dl (23.9mmol/l). What are you doing or what are you doing?

check the shelf life of the test strips

Wash and dry hands thoroughly, measure again

correct the high value immediately

rub your hands with honey and measure again

Correct! If the sugar from the pear juice sticks to your hands, you may get falsely high blood sugar readings.

Try again later! Tip: What did the child have in and on their hands recently?
