Answer:

The patient must still continue to do fingersticks. The patient should also consider purchasing a glucose monitoring system. Along with the machine, the patient should also keep in stock disposable sensors for the continuous monitoring system (CMS). I would also remind the patient the CMS still requires it to be calibrated. The nurse should not administer a Bolus until the fingerstick confirms the Blood Glucose.
