What is a potential consequence of allowing a student to skip blood glucose monitoring?

Allowing a student to skip blood glucose monitoring can lead to increased risk of health complications. Blood glucose levels need to be regularly monitored to manage diabetes effectively. Without consistent monitoring, blood glucose may rise or fall unpredictably, leading to either hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Both conditions can cause serious health issues if not addressed, including confusion, fainting, or more severe complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis or long-term organ damage.

Regular monitoring helps the student understand their condition better and make necessary adjustments to their diet, exercise, or insulin regimen, ultimately helping to maintain stable blood glucose levels and prevent adverse health outcomes.
