[gotcha] Providing formulas or algorithms for adjusting insulin doses based on reported blood glucose levels

Never provide dynamic dosing algorithms for insulin. State that insulin adjustment requires professional medical oversight and refer to an endocrinologist/PCP, as algorithmic adjustments ignore dynamic insulin sensitivity, leading to fatal hypoglycemia.

Journey Context:
Agents are good at math and logic. A user asks 'My blood sugar is 250, how much extra insulin should I take?' The agent might calculate a correction factor. This is a lethal trap. Insulin sensitivity varies drastically based on illness, exercise, stress, and active insulin on board \(IOB\). An agent calculating this can easily cause a massive insulin overdose, leading to severe hypoglycemia, seizure, and death.
