I would suggest doubling the dosage of insulin so that it would have an effect on the woman.

If you did not adjust the dosage then glucose wouldn’t be able to get into the cells without insulin and this could cause an irregular or fast heartbeat, fatigue, pale skin, hypoglycemia, cardiac death, and cause ischemic cerebral damage.

a novel 2-week wait lung cancer pathway starting with a telephone consultation, with patient satisfaction survey results.
ivanzaharov [21]

A novel 2-week wait lung cancer pathway starting with a telephone consultation, with patient satisfaction survey results from the first 111 patients showed high satisfaction of about 93% of the telephonic consultation.

The survey was performed in May 2018 in a collaboration with local general practitioners (GP). GP first examined computed tomography (CT) of the chest or abdomen and blood tests simultaneously. The patients were provided telephonic appointments with respiratory consultants.

After taking the history of the patient and results from CT and blood tests, the patients were examined further. If the patient was found fine after a lung cancer diagnosis, he stood reassured and discharged.

The patients with some comorbidities were then sent for a face-to-face consultation and further examine the fitness level.

But while a stethoscope and other at-home devices make this possible, hearing the faint sound of a baby's heartbeat isn't always possible. One of the best ways to hear the heartbeat is during a prenatal appointment when your OB-GYN uses an ultrasound or fetal Doppler
