Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow physician orders for Blood Glucose levels for one of eight residents (Resident R50), failed to provide parameters of when to notify physicians of increased and decreased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels or notifying physician of results outside parameters ordered for five of eight residents (Residents R25, R34, R53, R75, and R120), failed to document appropriate interventions for a resident with hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) for one of eight residents (Resident R53), failed to provide therapeutic lab monitoring for one of three residents (Resident R58) and failed to ensure timely follow up physician appointments were scheduled for one out of three residents (Residents R111). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The facilities Nursing Care of the Older Adult with Diabetes Mellitus policy dated 5/20/25, indicated to provide overview of diabetes in the older adult, its symptoms and complications, and the principles of glucose monitoring. The Centers for Disease Control defines diabetes as: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called blood glucose (BG) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body's cells for use as energy. If you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn't enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). If left untreated, hypoglycemia may lead to weakness, confusion, unconsciousness, arrhythmias and even death. People with Diabetes Mellitus may be prescribed injectable insulin to assist in maintaining acceptable levels of CBG's. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, occurs when there is too much sugar in the blood. This happens when your body has too little insulin. Hyperglycemia is blood glucose greater than 125 mg/dL while fasting (not eating for at least eight hours, or a blood glucose greater than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after eating. If you have hyperglycemia and it's untreated for long periods of time, you can damage your nerves, blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Damage to blood vessels can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke, and nerve damage may also lead to eye damage, kidney damage and non-healing wounds.
