Hello, I am a new nurse, working for about six months now. I was caring for a diabetic patient who was NPO with a blood sugar of 210. The previous night his sugar was around 250, I covered the patient with insulin and he became hypoglycemic with a sugar of 42. Last night I did not cover his 210 sugar. This morning his sugar was over 400. Normally I would not hold insulin but because he became hypoglycemic the night before I was very cautious. I asked a couple of nurses on the floor who said they would have done the same thing Did I make a huge mistake? Is this something that I could lose my job over?
