Untreated high blood glucose

Does anyone have a protocol/policy for patients who have high blood glucose level on morning labs or at POC, sometimes for several consecutive days? This would be for patients who have no insulin orders.

Is your policy lab, nursing, pharmacy, or physician driven?

Would appreciate any copies you are able to share.
