Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Rotating injection sites when administering insulin glargine is important to prevent lipodystrophy, a condition that can affect insulin absorption. Insulin glargine has no peak of action, which reduces the risk of hypoglycemia. This is a key feature of long-acting insulins like glargine. Checking for microalbuminuria if blood glucose levels are above 280 mg/dL is a good practice. Microalbuminuria can be an early sign of kidney damage, which can occur with poorly controlled diabetes.
