I think this should read "....Procardia which she bites to release the liquid, as she has diabetic gastroparesis, and I thought that maybe she is not absorbing her antihypertensives." Erratic absorption of nutrients and medications is a complication of diabetic gastroparesis.
Hello! :) The doctor dictated something that sounds like "astake" strips, and I'm completely stumped. The patient is a type 2 diabetic, and the sentence context is: "She will continue NPH 50 in the morning and then change her to NovoLog 8 in the morning, 8 in the evening. I refilled her (astake???) strips.
Please help!

This seems to be my week for needing help with words. I'm definitely hearing the doctor say "glibuteride" but I can't find any such medication. I'm thinking he's mispronouncing it, but can't figure out what it is. ...
Has anyone heard of diabetic liponecrosis? I'm not sure I'm hearing the doctor right. The patient has had painful nodules removed from her buttocks and now she has a recurrence of "diabetic liponecrosis."
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!! ...
In the diagnosis section of the consultation report, the doctor dictates:
"Uncontrolled hyperglycemia/HH and K."
My first thought would be hemoglobin and hematocrit and potassium, but he doesn't give me enough information in the rest of the report to be certain of this. The only values he gives are a blood sugar of 730 and a hemoglobin of 14.7.
Any thoughts on this? ...
Doctor dictates: "On initial evaluation, the patient was noted to have glucose of 560, with a bicarb of 11, and also has a (s/l something -demia) of 18%. The patient was subsequently admitted for further management."
I can't seem to find anything that would fit in the above space. It sounds like ?demia.
Does anybody have any clues for me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot. ...
Just had one dictate that this teenager took: Insulin 300-unit meal bolus plus 1 unit per 15 g carbs. Considering 300 units is a whole vial, that could be deadly.
Looking back at old records it was supposed to be: Insulin 300 units/3 mL. Meal bolus: 1 unit per 15 g carbs. ...
The physician is dictating the diagnoses, and he lists diabetes, retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic ulcers, HLA B27, uveitis.
I am wondering if I should type retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy, would that be repetitive? ...
