This warning is triggered by changes to the patient's Food and Nutrition orders when he or she has an active order for insulin or another hypoglycemic medication. It serves as a reminder that active medications may need adjustment in the face of adjusted caloric intake.

Click Edit Medications (ALT+M).
Select a medication form the Current Med Orders list, then click Edit (ALT+E).
Make changes to the dosing, frequency, and other parameters as appropriate.
Click OK (ALT+O).
Repeat the process from the Current Med Orders list as needed. When all applicable medications are adjusted, click Close (ALT+C).
