So, I have heard that a few states might start considering allowing medication aides to check blood sugar and then administer sliding scale insulin. The idea is that some facilities already allow the aides to check BGL and then report the results to the nurse. The nurses then administer the insulin based on what the medication aide told them. I am sure you all know how confusing it can get with so many accu checks. I was wondering if anyone else had heard anything about this, if any states actually implement this, and what everyone thinks about it.
I myself am a do it yourself-er. I want to do my own accu checks and administer my own insulin.
