2. First few days: Every morning at 6:00, call us at 916.426.1902 and use the pager number on the answering machine to page the doctor. Be prepared to give us the previous 24 hours of blood sugars so that we can discuss insulin dose adjustments.
3. Keep a written record (and bring it to your office visits all the time) of your child’s blood sugars, insulin doses, and exercise in a logbook or journal. This will make it easier to learn how your child responds to day-to-day activities.
4. EMERGENCIES: If life threatening call 911 Non emergency but urgent call 916.426.1902, anytime 24/7, and then follow the prompts to page one of our providers, if you feel you need help. This is a free courtesy service (insurance does not pay for this service) to give you access and support; you will always speak to one of our providers and not to a third-party call service. During office hours call the office.
5. Call your child’s school or daycare provider and find out what they will need to support your child in school. Forms are available for you to download on the main page.
