	glucose oral gel (JE)
		15 gm, Gel, By Mouth, Q15MIN, 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 for low blood sugar, Routine
			Comment: Give if blood glucose less than 60mg/dL or 60-70 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 60mg/dL or 60-70 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, for low blood sugar, Routine, T;N
			Comment: Give if blood glucose < 70mg/dL AND if dextrose 50% injectable unavailable 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
	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.
