A patient with type 2 diabetes has a new prescription for repaglinide (Prandin). After 1 week, she calls the office to ask what to do, because she keeps missing meals. “I work right through lunch sometimes, and I’m not sure whether I need to take it. What do I need to do?” What is the nurse’s best response? a “You need to try not to skip meals, but if that happens, you will need to skip that dose of Prandin.” b “We will probably need to change your prescription to insulin injections because you can’t eat meals on a regular basis.” c “Go ahead and take the pill when you first remember that you missed it.” d “Take both pills with the next meal, and try to eat a little extra to make up for what you missed at lunchtime.”
