CGM in the Hospital: Is it Ready for the Main Stage?
To the untrained eye, the utilization of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in the hospital setting would appear to be an easy transition from point of care glucose testing to the use of a technology that is well established in the outpatient setting. For those of us that attended the 2023 Virtual Hospital Diabetes Meeting (HDM) sponsored by the Diabetes Technology Society, we...

Recaps from American Association of Diabetes Educators Annual Meeting
Diabetes care and education specialists across the country convened in Houston, TX last week for the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) annual meeting. Notice, we avoided using the designation of diabetes educators. During the meeting, AADE announced the new name for its members, “diabetes care and education specialists,” or DCES for short. As Karen Kemmis, PT, DPT, RN, MS,...

EndoTool EMR Integration: What Does it Actually Mean?
One of the first questions we receive regarding EndoTool is, “Can it be fully integrated with our electronic medical record (EMR)?” Although the general answer is yes, it may depend on your definition of “integration.” In today’s market, the goal is for all information technology systems and software applications to be interoperable, meaning they communicate, exchange data and use the...

The Evolution of Nursing Practice in Diabetes Care
The role of the nurse in caring for patients with diabetes has evolved over our history. As understanding of the impact of diabetes in the inpatient setting gained momentum, nurses have moved from managing comorbidities, such as diabetes, as a secondary priority to caring for diabetes alongside and equal to the patients’ primary diagnoses. Leading and executing evidence-based nursing, which...

Creating a Winning Team to Advance Diabetes Care and Improve Outcomes
There’s a common saying, “teamwork makes the dream work.” Healthcare is truly a team sport. With increasing comorbidities and specialization of care, it takes a team of healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centered care. Working as an effective team in both the inpatient and outpatient setting not only has immediate implications for the safety and quality of care delivered, but it...

Managing Inpatient Nutrition for Optimal Glycemic Control
I will never forget rounding in a busy ICU just before lunchtime, standing within earshot of a patient with type 2 diabetes ordering her lunch: a cheeseburger, fully loaded, with a side of french fries and chocolate ice cream for dessert. I cracked a smile as my stomach growled and my mouth watered; it sounded delicious. The patient’s tray arrived...

The Impact of Hyperglycemia in Burn Trauma
The first week of February marks National Burn Awareness Week.

In the United States, the CDC estimates 50,000 burn injuries require a hospital stay each year and 20,000 have burns involving...

The “Why” for Improving Hospital Glycemic Management
DiaTribe Editor, Adam Brown, wrote in a recent article, “We’ve known for a long time that diabetes care in hospitals is often bad, but until you experience it personally – and you have to go to the ER and have an emergency surgery and stay there for five days – you don’t truly understand how unprepared hospitals are.” For hospitals,...

Maintaining Glucose Targets Through the Thanksgiving Holiday
Thanksgiving is a time for celebration with family and food, but celebrating the holiday from a hospital bed is never quite as enjoyable. For those with diabetes and hyperglycemia, the holiday can either be riddled with rules to ruin the day or a free-for-all that leads to extremely high blood glucose levels. As healthcare providers, we want this time to...
