Abstract
the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor in residents with microalbuminuria for renal protective properties. In addition, dietary department has been educating activities staff as to the selection of healthy snacks that are provided to the residents. Conclusion: Quality improvement has been seen in the decreased glycohemaglobin values for this diabetic population. The multidiscipline approach to DM management, beginning with standardized laboratory testing has increased resident quality of life by providing stabilization of blood sugar levels as evidenced by the improved glycohemaglobin results, fewer finger stick blood sugar tests being required, and all residents receiving healthier snacks during activity programs. Through the continual improvement process changes have been made to the laboratory data by including testing for renal function in our residents due to the concomitant high association of kidney impairment in our population.
