Blood glucose levels can fluctuate throughout the day based on meals, activity levels, and medication timing, requiring structured monitoring and dose adjustments. At Wellcare Health Assisted Living, sliding scale insulin administration follows documented physician orders that outline dosage ranges based on current glucose readings. Staff obtain blood sugar measurements at scheduled intervals and record results before administering insulin according to prescribed parameters. This method supports dose accuracy by aligning insulin amounts with measured readings rather than fixed amounts alone. Observations are documented and communicated to the appropriate healthcare provider when readings fall outside established ranges.
Ongoing oversight relies on consistent documentation and coordination with prescribing professionals. In Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, glucose readings and insulin doses are logged to maintain clear records for review. Staff follow written protocols for timing, measurement, and administration to maintain uniform practice across shifts. When provider instructions are updated, care documentation is revised to reflect new dosing guidance. This structured approach maintains continuity in diabetic management within the residential setting.
