Unit 4: Management of Pediatric Diabetes According to Stead Family Children’s Hospital Protocols

Learning Objectives

  1. Given a summary of the University of Iowa’s SFCH’s pediatric diabetes protocol, trainees will demonstrate proper management of carbohydrate coverage, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and ketosis
  2. Given our SFCH pediatric diabetes protocols and the American Diabetes Association guidelines, trainees will be able to identify age-based glucose target goals for the following: normoglycemia, pre- and post-prandial glucose, hemoglobin A1c, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia.
  3. Using the SFCH’s pediatric diabetes protocols, trainees will be able to:
    1. Recall the correct monitoring of blood glucoses during inpatient admissions
    2. Recite the correct timing of routine administration of insulin
  4. Given three treatment options for the management of hypoglycemia, trainees will be able to identify the two best options for the emergency treatment of hypoglycemia in the inpatient setting
  5. Given a ketosis simulator, trainees will be able to demonstrate their ability to manage ketones using a computer-simulated patient and insulin dosing options
  6. Given example scenarios, trainees will demonstrate:
    1. Application of correct glucose monitoring when insulin is given at non-protocolized times according to the University of Iowa SFCH’s pediatric diabetes protocol.
    2. Recognize when deviation from protocol is necessary to maintain glycemic control and/or patient safety
