Good morning,
I would like the pharmacy at our adult acute care hospital to automatically discontinue oral hypoglycemic agents on admission and sent an alert to prescriber recommending basal/bolus/correctional insulin as the preferred alternative if indicated, as a way to decrease our hypoglycemia rates. Item has been tabled at P&T due to lack of consensus from our Diabetes Specialists/Endocrinologist practitioners.

Can you please share what you do at your institution and include name of where you practice?

Thank you in advance for your time and collaboration!
