Consultation Guidelines

Physician input: all new Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Consider Physician input if metabolic decompensation is the primary cause of admission or if there are significant diabetes complications. If recent glycaemic control is a concern, consider ordering an HbA1c to aid with assessment.
