A Step in the Right Direction: What New Glycemic Clinical Outcomes Beyond HbA1c Mean for Hospitals
Imagine if a patient’s blood glucose was still determined through urine strip testing. Although it was once seen as a best practice, it would now be laughable and likely thought of as downright poor patient care. As medicine evolves, the best practices and guidelines must continuously be reviewed and updated to account for the current evidence-based and state-of-the-art knowledge. In...

National Diabetes Month: Time to Act

It is estimated that by 2050, this figure...

Monarch Featured in DiabetesMine Blog, “Convincing Hospitals That Glucose Management Matters”

The...

Glycemic Targets Part 2: A1C
In last week’s blog, we explained the importance of patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for patients with diabetes. This week, we want to go over the A1C test, goals and recommendations, and the limitations of A1C testing. What is it? According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the A1C...

Glycemic Targets Part 1: SMBG & CGM
One of the most critical responsibilities of patients with diabetes is patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). In order to assess glycemic levels, SMBG is available to caregivers and patients to evaluate the safety of the suggested glycemic management plan. It is not only important to check blood glucose levels, but continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is essential to create a...

Insulin 101: What You Need to Know
Let’s get back to the basics. Per the American Diabetes Association, insulin is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by the pancreas.

What are the routines?...

Risk of Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, usually less than 70 mg/dL. This condition is recognized to be one of the main restrictions in achieving normal control in type 1 diabetes. Historically, the risk of hypoglycemia has been considered lower in type 2 diabetes, however, with the increasing use of insulin to treat type...

Understanding and Treating Diabetes Throughout The Ages
Diabetes has plagued sufferers long before it was ever given a name and before the characteristics of diabetes were recognized. Only relatively recently has modern science shed light on the root of the disease and given new hope to patients with diabetes. As early as 1552 BC, a Greek physician identified diabetes as a disease characterized by frequent urination and...

What’s Your Diabetes IQ?
November is American Diabetes Month. What’s your diabetes IQ? How much do you really know about the disease? While EndoTool addresses the need for insulin therapy in hospitalized patients, a significant number of these patients have been previously diagnosed (or will be) with diabetes. In honor of American Diabetes Month, we thought we would take a step back and look...
