Monitoring is crucial to ensure effective and safe glucose administration: - Blood Glucose Monitoring: Frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to adjust the dosage and prevent complications. This can be done using a glucometer or continuous glucose monitoring systems. - Clinical Signs: Observing the child for signs of improvement or any adverse effects is important. Symptoms such as normalization of behavior and cessation of hypoglycemic symptoms indicate effective treatment. - Electrolyte Levels: Regular monitoring of electrolytes, especially potassium, is necessary when administering IV glucose.
