Push Dose Pearls: Insulin

Insulin EM Pulse PodcastThis is the next episode of our Push Dose Pearls miniseries with ED Pharmacist, Chris Adams. In this ongoing series we’ll dig into some of the questions we all have about medications we commonly see and use in the ED. This episode again focuses on insulin. Should everyone with hyperglycemia get regular insulin? Is IV better than subcu? We’ll answer these questions and more as we discuss the latest recommendations for managing hyperglycemia and DKA in the ED.  Did this episode change your practice?
