	Order Lab
		T;N, Blood Glucose (POC) as needed for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia
Medications
	Dextrose 50%
		25 mL, Injection, IV Push, Q15MIN, PRN for low blood sugar, Routine
			Comment: Give if blood glucose less than 55mg/dL or 56-79 mg/dL and patient unable to tolerate oral intake. Notify provider if given with corresponding POC glucose recheck value.
	Dextrose 10% in Water (FH)
		250 mL, Injection, IVPB, Q30MIN, PRN for low blood sugar, infuse over 30 min(s)
			Comment: Give if blood glucose less than 55mg/dL or 56-79 mg/dL and patient unable to tolerate oral intake. Notify provider if given with corresponding POC glucose recheck value.
	glucagon
		1 mg, Injection, IV Push, Q15MIN, PRN for low blood sugar, Routine
			Comment: Give if blood glucose < 55mg/dL, if dextrose 50% injectable unavailable and blood glucose 56-79 mg/dL, or inadequate response to IV dextrose 50%. May give SubQ or IM if patient does not have IV access. Notify provider if given with corresponding POC glucose recheck value.
Patient Care
	IV-Maintain
		T;N
			Comment: Patient must have IV site while on hypoglycemia protocol.
	Hypoglycemia Treatment Parameters
		T;N, Hypoglycemia protocol initiated for patients with glucose <80mg/dl.
			Comment: Patient must have IV site while on hypoglycemia protocol.
		T;N, blood glucose <40mg/dl (critical value),
			Comment: Discontinue any insulin infusion and treat with Dextrose 50%, 25 ml. Notify physician immediately and repeat glucose 15 minutes after treatment
		T;N, glucose 40-55 mg/dL give Dextrose 50% 25 mL.
			Comment: Discontinue any insulin infusion and treat with Dextrose 50%, 25 ml. Notify physician immediately and repeat glucose 15 minutes after treatment
		T;N, glucose 56-79 mg/dL,
			Comment:  if Patient asymptomatic, recheck blood glucose in 30 minutes.  If symptomatic, administer 4 oz apple juice.  If patient NPO or unable to tolerate oral intake, give Dextrose 50%, 25ml.  Repeat glucose in 15 minutes after treatment
		T;N
			Comment: Give 1 complex carb and 1 protein snack or patient meal if patient able to take orals any time hypoglycemia is treated.
		T;N
			Comment: When blood glucose is greater than 100 mg/dL; if indicated, restart Insulin infusion at ½ previous rate and change glucose checks to every hour until glucose is in the target range (101 - 140) for 6 hours, then may change to Q2H glucose checks.
