چکیده

OBJECTIVES To assess in hospitalized patients the prevalence of hyperglycemia, degree of glycemic control, rate of hypoglycemia, and treatment used. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective, observational study. RESULTS Hyperglycemia was found in 185 (26.7%) of 691 patients, of whom 85% had been diagnosed with diabetes and 15% had no diabetes. Preprandial mean blood glucose was 169 mg/dL (95% CI 160-177). Control goals were achieved by 34.5% of patients (blood glucose ≤140 mg/dL). In 121 patients only sliding-scale regular insulin was used, while 64 patients received both basal and regular insulin. The mean daily insulin dose used was 19.5 units. Oral antidiabetics were given to 11.4% of patients. Thirteen patients (7%) experienced hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dL), none of them severe. CONCLUSIONS Glycemic control is not adequate in hospitalized patients, probably because of overuse of sliding scales and the low insulin doses used.

Obstacles to optimal management of inpatient hyperglycemia in noncritically ill patients.

Compelling evidence continues to evolve linking hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients with adverse clinical outcomes. In 2012, The Endocrine Society's clinical practice guidelines for management of hyperglycemia in non-critical care settings were published, and explicit blood glucose targets for noncritically ill patients were recommended. These matched those set by the American Diabetes Assoc...
