A 34-year-old African-American diabetic man
is brought to the ED after collapsing on the
bus on his way home from work. His blood
sugar was 20 mg/dL on admission. After resuscitative
measures, his blood sugar is 90 mg/dL;
he is awake, alert, oriented, and appears stable.
His insulin dosage had recently been adjusted,
and physical examination reveals white
patches in his mouth. A contrast-enhanced CT
study done in the ED is normal. Which of the
following is the most appropriate step to manage
his condition and prevent morbidity?
(A) Administer amphotericin B
(B) Administer glucose
(C) Administer mannitol
(D) Do nothing; this represents normal oral
flora
(E) Manage blood sugars and insulin medication
