For week 4 your patient has a glucose of 1766. When you write the orders for sliding scale insulin, remember you are treating a 1766 glucose, not a 400 glucose. Write the appropriate order for a glucose of 1766. Good luck! Be sure to write out your sliding scale and don’t include po meds for treatment of glucose. Likely will need an insulin drip.
