Starting Tuesday, Jan. 16, there will be a new bedtime insulin correction scale order in the Diabetes and Hyperglycemia Management order set. The modified correction scale offers lower insulin doses for bedtime administration in patients with persistent hyperglycemia (glucoses > 250mg/dL). This will help prevent early morning hypoglycemia by limiting the amount of short-acting insulin delivered to patients when not receiving a meal. The orders also offer POC glucose checks at 0200, after the bedtime dose at 2100.
