Abstract: Case Mr. Hill arrived in the emergency department (ED) dehydrated and disoriented. He had a history of type II diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and poorly controlled hypertension, and when he came to the ED his blood glucose measured 750. After receiving normal saline and insulin intravenously, Mr. Hill was admitted to the internal medicine floor where he was stabilized and kept overnight for monitoring. The next day, the internist who admitted Mr. Hill requested a consultation from the hospital's endocrinologist, Dr. Vernon.
