Lucаs is а 17 yeаr оld with type 1 diabetes (diagnоsed at age 10). He has an insulin pump which prоvides him with basal levels of insulin and which he provides adjusted amounts of Lispro (Humalog) insulin before meals and with snacks. He has had a stressful semester in high school with basketball, social events, and studying. As finals week nears, he develops a severe upper respiratory infection and things deteriorate from there. He goes to the ER and is admitted to the hospital with complaints of exhaustion, excessive urination, hunger and thirst, and inability to control his blood glucose levels. His skin and mucous membranes are dry and he is experiencing deep rapid breathing. He brings his SMBG records along with him. He is 6’2” and weighs 161 pounds on admission, usual weight 175 pounds. Available lab data as follows: LAB DATA LUCAS NORMAL RANGE Serum albumin (g/dL) 4.5 3.6-5.0 Serum prealbumin (mg/dL) 38 9-43 Serum sodium (mEq/L) 156 H 135-155 Serum potassium (mEq/L) 5.8 H 3.5-5.5 Serum osmolality (mmol/kg H2O) 350 H 275-295 Serum glucose (mg/dL) 363 H 70-120 Serum BUN (mg/dL) 31 H 8-26 Serum creatinine (mg/dL) 1.6 H 0.6-1.3 Serum pH 7.3 L 7.35-7.45 HbA1c (%) 9.9 H 4-6 Hgb (g/dL) 19 H 14-17 Hct (%) 52 H 39-49 Urine glucose Pos Neg Urine ketones Pos Neg Note: H=high, above the normal range. L=low, below the normal range. What do you suspect is currently happening with Lucas based on the information you have?

L=low, below the normal range. The correction factor, which defines how many mg/dL a unit of rapid acting insulin will lower blood glucose, is determined using the “1700 rule”. If a patient has a total daily dose of insulin of 50 units, what is the correction factor?
