Patient Care
	Notify MD
		T;N, for instructions if dietary change: abrupt change in oral intake, change to NPO status, tube feedings are held or discontinued, TPN held or discontinued.  (caloric intake necessary to prevent hypoglycemia)
		T;N, If insulin requirements > 10units/hr for further instruction
	Notify MD of Lab results
		T;N, if blood glucose is not less than 180 after 6 hours on the OB Insulin Infusion protocol.
	IV Insulin Parameters
		T;N, Decrease infusion to 0.5 units/hour if enteral and/or parenteral nutrition support is stopped or held and notify physician.
		T;N, If the glucose decreases >75mg/dl from the last glucose check, decrease insulin rate by 50% and check blood glucose in 30 minutes.
		T;N, If initial glucose < 101, do not start infusion.  Enter order for blood glucose Q4H and start infusion if necessary based on parameters.
	Order Lab
		When glucose is in target range (101-140) for 6 hours, cancel glucose Q1H order and enter new glucose order Q2H.  If glucose falls out of target range, change glucose checks back to Q1H until in range again for 6 hours

OB Hypoglycemia Protocol
Laboratory
		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.

		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: should have IV in place for 24hr after delivery and/or patient requiring hypoglycemia treatment
	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.
