Poster quick-facts:

• 7-year retrospective observational study
• A total of 492,078 blood glucose readings were taken from 16,850 patients
• Patients experienced minimal hypoglycemia, with 0.93% of BG values <70 mg/dL and 0.03% <40 mg/dL
• Between 2009 and 2015, hyperglycemic patients achieved glucose levels ≤180 mg/dL within 1.5 to 2.3 hours
• Overall, results revealed the use of EndoTool effectively controlled blood glucose levels, reduced hypoglycemia rates and reduced the overall amount of hospital acquired conditions.

Dr. Robert Tanenberg, Medical Director, Inpatient Diabetes Program at Vidant Medical Center and Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Brody School of Medicine, at East Carolina University, mentions, “Our caregivers put patients first with safety as our top priority.
