Diabetes Red Flags & Sick-Day Plan
The Diabetes Red Flags & Sick-Day Plan was developed for people who need a focused way to supports provider-directed diabetes management when illness disrupts normal routines. Instead of asking users to remember scattered details, it organizes glucose patterns, hydration, food intake, medications, ketone instructions when applicable, vomiting, confusion, and emergency contacts.
Its prompts are designed for use between appointments, during care transitions, or when preparing a concise update for a healthcare professional. The format keeps attention on observable information and provider-directed next steps rather than diagnosis or self-prescribing.
This diabetes self-management resource should be used with individualized clinical instructions. Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation. It is designed to complement—not replace—clinical care.
