factor affects BGLs and HbA1c.

Discuss the three medications Sandra is prescribed by the Endocrinologist. Include in your answer
the action, complications, relevant side effects and relevant nursing considerations linked to Sandra’s
situation.
Explain five complications that Sandra could experience if her blood glucose level (BGL) and
HbA1c remain high.
