Method Totally 112 clinical nurses from 28 departments of the hospital were involved in the investigation with a self-designed questionnaire. Results The average score on monitoring and management of blood glucose critical values was (79.69 ± 14.12). 53 nurses (47.32%) were at a medium or lower level. There were significant differences in the scores among the nurses of different age, work experience, education level and professional title (P<0.05).
