		T;N
			Comment: Hypoglycemia protocol initiated for patients with glucose <70mg/dl. Blood glucose <40mg/dl (critical value), treat with Dextrose 50%, 25 mL, then immediately notify physician.

Blood glucose 56-70 mg/dL 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.  If repeat glucose 55-70, repeat apple juice or Dextrose. Obtain another glucose, Give 1 complex carb (15g) and 1 protein snack (7g) or patient meal if patient able to take orals any time hypoglycemia is treated.  When blood glucose >150mg/dl, restart infusion at ½ previous rate and change glucose checks to every hour until glucose is within target range (100-150) for 4 hours, then change to Q2H glucose checks.
		T;N, Hypoglycemia protocol initiated for patients with glucose <70mg/dl. Patient should have an IV while on Hypoglycemia protocol.
		T;N, glucose < 60mg/dL  treat with Dextrose 50% 25 mL.OR glucagon 1mg as per medication orders. Notify provider as per critical result protocol. Repeat treatment as outlined in hypoglycemia parameters.
			Comment: 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% 25ml , 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.
