Management of Type 1 Diabetes in the ED

Forums: 

Does your organization have a policy or protocol related to management of diabetes while patients are observed in the ED? Thinking specifically of how we can mitigate risk of patients with type 1 diabetes going without basal insulin for too long if they happen to be held in the ED for a prolonged time. What about policy/protocol for checking blood glucoses at regular intervals when they have not yet been admitted?

Appreciate any insight you may have.
