Glucose Variability and Tight Glycemic Control
When it comes to glucose control, glucose variability, and the risk for hypoglycemia, often times they can be related. Even though reducing hyperglycemia and leveling HbA1c values of seven percent or less result in decreased risk of complications, the risk for hypoglycemia increases when glycemic control is tightened. Thus, hypoglycemia has been viewed as the barricade to tight glycemic control....

Insulin: Lifesaver or Killer? Part 3
Strategies to Minimize Risk of Hypoglycemia We addressed the patient risks of severe hypoglycemia in the part 1 of this series and followed it with the clinical consequences of severe hypoglycemia in part 2. After looking at both scenarios, you may be thinking, how can hypoglycemia be treated and what can be done to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia?’ The...

Insulin: Lifesaver or Killer? Part 2
Clinical Consequences of Severe Hypoglycemia In part 1 of this series, we described a scenario of a patient receiving intensive insulin therapy, and the most frequent critical complication to follow: hypoglycemia. Not only are there patient risks of severe hypoglycemia, there are clinical consequences as well. The clinical effects of hypoglycemia include: Hospital admissions – In a prospective study of...

Why Glycemic Control is Critical in the Labor and Delivery Unit
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood glucose (sugar) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. According to a 2014 analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of gestational diabetes among U.S. women is as high as 9.2%. What causes this condition is not known, however,...

Symptoms of Hypoglycemia
According to the American Diabetes Association, hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, usually less than 70 mg/dL. Hypoglycemia can be caused from too much insulin, inadequate food intake or poor timing of meals, or exercise without adequate adjustments. There are three categories of hypoglycemia: mild, moderate and severe. Mild Hypoglycemia Mild hypoglycemia includes...

Why Accurate Insulin Dosing is Critical to Treatment of Wounds
Prior to 1921, little was known about the function of the pancreas, and a diagnosis of diabetes almost invariably led to mortality. As insulin enjoyed wider therapeutic application, patient outcomes dramatically improved, and this was not limited to those with diabetes. According to an article on the history of insulin by Michael Hrynyk and Ronald Neufeld, “Insulin’s role in wound...

How Better Care Drives Value
While the amount of hospital resources wasted on medical supplies is relatively easy to calculate, the more insidious expenses – clinical personnel costs – are more difficult to quantify. However, when a Roanoke, Virginia hospital set out to improve patient outcomes by standardizing insulin dosing protocols, the facility discovered substantial savings by mechanizing this process....

Effective Glucose Management in Therapeutic Hypothermia Can Save Patient Neurological Function
Inducing mild hypothermia in some patients with cardiac arrest and other traumatic events has proven to significantly improve their long-term neurological function. Many experts feel that this is one of the most important advancements in the history of the science of resuscitation. According to Dr. Jonathan Adler, writing in Medscape, patients who have been shown to benefit from induced hypothermia...
