The health-care provider's order reads: Lantus 10 units with Regular 4 units subcut now. What is the problem with this insulin order?

Improving control of blood glucose levels is an important motivation for the use of insulin pumps by diabetic patients. However, certain side effects have been reported with pump therapy. The table below comes from the paper "Acute complications associated with insulin pump therapy: Report of experience with 161 patients" by Mecklenberg et al. published in JAMA 252 (23), 3265-3269. The table provides data on the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients before and after pump therapy. Before pump therapy After pump therapy | No DKA | DKA | Row Totals No DKA | 128 | 7 | 135 DKA | 19 | 7 | 26 Column Totals | 147 | 14 | n = 161 Conduct an appropriate test to determine if the rate of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is higher following diabetic pump therapy. Summarize your findings. (5 pts.)
