For All Providers, Nurses and Pharmacy
As of Tuesday, Oct. 13, the Diabetes Action Council updated the Hyperglycemia order set to improve patient safety and monitor glucose more closely. As a result, there is an additional, one-time bedside glucose at night for patients transitioning from insulin infusion to a subcutaneous insulin regimen in the first 24 hours. Nurses will need to notify the ordering provider if the blood glucose is below 70 mg/dL or greater than 300 mg/dL.
