? Bear update- low electrolytes, labs etc

We got Bear’s labs back today and it seems he has low electrolytes.. amongst his obviously unregulated bs levels

His vet gave us two options basically, to hospitalize him at a 24 hr clinic where they will give him IV and also a fast acting insulin to regulate him better. Not sure how i feel about the fast acting insulin- but if it is in his best interest, I would do it. I just know when we first started he was sensitive to insulin which is why we tried slgs.. so i do worry about him crashing.. i know they would monitor him but im still not sure if i like the idea.. but if it is what has to be done.
Option 2 is daily out patient care at their clinic with iv only..
I dont think theres a way we can perk up his electrolytes at home at this time since hes been so poorly

Attached labs if anyone sees/notices anything else or has any advice/recommendations on how to get our bear cub back feeling better

Did the vet talk about taking home a potassium supplement to give him? That's one that definitely needs to come up. Did you decide which way to go?

She didnt discuss anything else other than the hospitalization/IV. I asked if there was anything we could give him at home and she said no

Id rather do the outpatient, I really dont want to give him the fast acting insulin.. i dont know how that would affect his depot? But i also dont want to put him in harms way if thats what is needed
