Surgical hypo- and hyperglycemia protocols

I have an ambulatory surgical center looking to create protocols for management of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in the surgical setting. Does anyone have protocols in place that you'd be willing to share as an example or references to direct us to as a starting point. We've researched UpToDate and CDC and are looking for additional guidance if possible. Given the ambulatory setting, there is no pump, so an insulin drip would not be used.
