ForwardIdentification and Management of Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia- Kristi Kelley
Princeton Baptist Medical Center’s internal medicine resident clinic cares for many underserved patients, many of whom have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These patients need extensive care due to the complications this disease can cause. Identifying blood glucose excursions and how to manage them is vital in ensuring patient safety when treating T2DM. Blood glucose excursions, especially hypoglycemia, can be deadly.
The internal medicine resident clinic team includes physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and social workers. All members of this healthcare team work together to promote wellbeing and ensure the safety of each patient. The purpose of this presentation is to educate all members of the team on the similarities and differences between hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. By educating the team, each patient with T2DM can receive more effective counseling on their blood glucose management.
Each member of the team should know how to counsel patients on the identification and management of blood glucose excursions so that patient safety is improved.
