Pharmacists you are needed! 👨🏻⚕️ Had a hospice patient few weeks ago being treated with glipizide, metformin and sliding scale lispro for T2DM 💊💊💊 Naturally, I was curious as the standards for treating this are very lenient in hospice Goal fasting blood glucose < 180-200 ⬇️ Past week of recent blood sugars were sub 100s, even a few low episodes ~ 60 Most recent A1C few months ago was 4.8% 😳 What I did: - Suggested to stop all agents ❌ - Suggested to stop needle sticks ❌ Overall this reduced unnecessary medications, lowered risk for hypoglycemia, and probably improved patients QOL with less sticks! #pharmacist #palliativecare #painmanagement #addictionmedicine #hospitalpharmacy #polypharmacy
