**6. Sick day guidelines/enteral feeds**

It is extremely important to educate individuals with type 1 diabetes and their caretakers about the signs and symptoms of a sick day and its management. If sick days are neglected or not managed well it can result in hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS), or any adverse effect leading to hospital admission. More than hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis are the major causes of hospital admissions during acute illness.
