	glucose oral gel (JE)
		15 gm, Gel, By Mouth, Once, PRN, low blood sugar
			Comment: If blood glucose is 70mg/dL or lower and/or experiencing symptomatic hypoglycemia administer per hypoglycemia protocol.
	Dextrose 50%
		50 mL, Injection, IV Push, Q15MIN, PRN, see comment, Routine
			Comment: If patient unable to tolerate oral intake.  If blood glucose is 70mg/dL or lower and/or experiencing symptomatic hypoglycemia administer per hypoglycemia protocol.
	glucagon
		1 mg, Injection, IM-Intramuscular, Once, PRN, low blood sugar, Routine
			Comment: If unable to take oral and IV access is not readily available.  If blood glucose is 70mg/dL or lower and/or experiencing symptomatic hypoglycemia administer per hypoglycemia protocol.
Patient Care
	Order Lab
		T;N, RN may change schedule of point of care glucose to every 6 hours if patient is NP or not on oral diet (tube/enteral feedings, TPN, etc). Enter order as Q6H-SCH and medication order as Q6H-SCH PRN.
	Diabetic Snack
		T;N, Give snack (1 complex carb (15g), 1 protein snack (7g) ) anytime insulin is administered after the evening meal is complete and POC glucose is <150mg/dL.
	IV-Maintain
		T;N
			Comment: Patient should have IV site while on hypoglycemia protocol
	Hypoglycemia Treatment Parameters
		T;N, Hypoglycemia protocol initiated for patients with glucose <70mg/dl.  Check a Glucose-POC level 15min
		T;N, glucose <60 mg/dL treat with Dextrose 50% 25 mL OR glucagon 1mg as per medication orders. Notify provider as per critical result protocol.
			Comment: Repeat treatment as outlined in hypoglycemia parameters. Notify provider of all treatments given and POC glucose recheck values. When notifying provider of hypoglycemic treatment, clarify with provider future instructions on diabetic medication therapy
		T;N, glucose 60-70 mg/dL, administer 4 oz apple juice, 4 oz non-diet soda, or glucose gel.  If patient NPO or unable to tolerate oral intake, give Dextrose 50% 25 mL OR glucagon 1mg as per medication orders.
			Comment: Repeat treatment as outlined in hypoglycemia parameters. Notify provider of all treatments given and POC glucose recheck values. When notifying provider of hypoglycemic treatment, clarify with provider future instructions on diabetic medication therapy.
		T;N, After initial treatment of any glucose value </= 70 mg/dL, repeat POC glucose in 15 min; if result </= 70mg/dL continue treating as per protocol and rechecking glucose 15 min after treatment until glucose >70mg/dL.
			Comment: Notify provider of all treatments given and corresponding POC glucose recheck values. When notifying provider of hypoglycemic treatment, clarify with provider future instructions on diabetic medication therapy.
		T;N, Once glucose is within normal limits, give 1 complex carb and 1 protein source (such as ½ sandwich OR 1 individual container of peanut butter and 3 packs of crackers) or patient meal if patient able to take orals to prevent recurrent hypoglycemia.
			Comment: When notifying provider of hypoglycemic treatment, clarify with provider future instructions on diabetic medication therapy.
