diabetes protocol for LTC facilities

Hi there- I am new to this site and I posted a question in the general discussion which may have been better here.
I am interested in knowing the protocol in LTC facilities regarding diabetes management. At the home where I work, there is no protocol and the knowledge regarding diabetes management is poor. I had a resident the other day who had been vomiting on and off for a day ( type 1 diabetic) and whose BS was approaching low and no one had thought to bump up the testing, or encourage increased liquid carbs or even call the MD-(it was not even mentioned in report) Another thing I have noticed is it is common for staff to "hold " insulin because they feel the BS is low when in fact it is not- they are just unaware of the proper range. Do homes keep glucose tabs or gels available as an emergency or just glucogon?This is not the first time it has happened and I would like to initiate a protocol but am not too clear how to go about it. It was suggested by another reader to hire a nurse educator for the home on a contract basis. I am interested in the protocol's for other LTC facilities if anyone could give me a condensed version I would be grateful.
