The DON also confirmed the order: insulin aspart 100unit/ml via insulin pump two times a day at 0800 and 2000 related to type 1 DM was not correct as the Omnipod insulin infusion disposable pump continuously maintains this resident's blood glucose level and boluses for meals and if needed for high blood glucose control. Interview with the DON on 09/07/23 at 11:22 A.M. stated when the orders came with her, the hospital did not send the orders for her diabetic care. She has a Dexcom CGM, and we check on her to make sure she is ok. If she was to get low, we would give her orange juice.

According to Medscape, type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin due to the autoimmune destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetics require lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes mellitus consists of an array of dysfunctions characterized by hyperglycemia and resulting from the combination of resistance to insulin action, inadequate insulin secretion, and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion. Type 2 diabetes care includes: appropriate goal setting dietary and exercise modifications, medications, appropriate self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), regular monitoring for complications and laboratory assessment. According to Medscape, a Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (Omnipod): Rapid-acting insulin infused continuously 24 hours a day through an insulin pump at 1 or more basal rates, with additional boluses given before each meal and correction doses administered if blood glucose levels exceed target levels. It replaces the need for multiple injections for short acting and long-acting insulins. According to Medscape, a Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs like Dexcom) contain transcutaneous or subcutaneous sensors-depending on whether the devices are externally worn or fully implantable, respectively-that measure interstitial glucose levels every 1-5 minutes, providing alarms when glucose levels are too high or too low or are rapidly rising or falling. CGMs transmit to a receiver, which either is a pager like device or is integral to an insulin pump. Looking at the continuous glucose graph and responding to the alarms can help patients avoid serious hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. It replaces the need to often obtain 2-4 blood glucose levels each day, including fasting levels and levels checked at various other times that are required. 34299 2.
