Is Pharmacy on Your Glucose Management Team?
When it comes to managing glucose levels in the hospital, the pharmacist can play an active role and, with broad expertise in medication management, make a unique contribution. Pharmacists are well informed of the risks associated with hyperglycemia and the benefits of tighter glycemic control, as well as the impact of the all-too-common hyperglycemia to hypoglycemia swing. If a patient...

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...

Hospital Demonstrates LOS and Cost Benefit from Glucose Management Software
A study at United Regional Health Care System (URHCS), a major 325-bed hospital in Wichita Falls, Texas, proves that safe and efficient glucose management not only improves the delivery of insulin therapy, but decreases overall length of stay and results in financial savings for the hospital. As part of its commitment to leverage advanced medical technology for the benefit of...

Glucose Management Software Optimizes Subcutaneous Insulin Dosing for Hospitalized Patients With Diabetes
When patients with diabetes enter the hospital, they don’t check their diabetes at the door. Managing diabetes while delivering treatment for other conditions is an added challenge for hospitalized patients where the condition may be either ongoing or a temporary abnormality. While always important, appropriate glucose management is particularly a concern for patients undergoing medical treatment — critical or not...

Hypoglycemia: Not to Be Overlooked
Hyperglycemia is a topic frequently discussed in hospitals today. It is not a defining characteristic of diabetes, but is a hefty threat to the body if not addressed in a timely manner. When left untreated, hyperglycemia can cause long-term complications of diabetes such as: eye damage, heart attack, kidney damage, nerve damage, and stroke. Healthcare puts a strong emphasis on...

Patients With Diabetes: Take Control of Your Inpatient Glucose Management
If you’re a patient with diabetes, you are accustomed to managing diabetes and maintaining appropriate blood sugar levels on a daily basis. Many people with diabetes have mastered the principles of glucose management and successfully put them into practice every day. When you’re receiving medical care, don’t let this positive attitude stop at the hospital door. Visiting a hospital using...

Society of Hospital Medicine Workbook is Great Resource for Inpatient Glycemic Management
The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) recognizes the importance of successful glycemic control in hospitalized patient populations as well as the unfortunate gap in best practice and standard procedures in most hospitals today. Further, it recognizes that hypoglycemia is a common outcome of current attempts to control hyperglycemia in inpatient settings. SHM provides a step-by-step guide for addressing these issues...

The Importance of Managing Residual Insulin
While dosing protocols may be carefully calculated, a hospitalized patient’s need for insulin may change quickly based on a wide range of factors. Insulin therapy must follow suit. Compared to paper protocols and lookup tables, computerized insulin management solutions enhance ease of use and accuracy. However, many computerized systems rely on the same imprecise protocols as manual methods and fall...

Paying Attention to Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients
Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, can negatively affect hospitalized patients who fail to produce sufficient insulin to metabolize the sugar contents of their blood. Aside from patients with diabetes, hyperglycemia can result from medical conditions. Stroke or myocardial infarction (heart attack) patients, patients who have problems with the thyroid, adrenal, pituitary gland, pancreas, and patients who undergo major surgeries may...

Hypoglycemia: How Low Can You Go?
How low can you go? When it comes to sugar levels and you begin to experience hypoglycemic symptoms, it depends who you ask. 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. While the Endocrine Society classifies hypoglycemia as a clinically low blood glucose level accompanied...

Blood Sugar Levels: Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia Defined
Hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia. What’s the difference? What’s the significance? Hyper, derived from Greek, means above, or in excess, while glyc denotes sweet, and mia means in the blood. Together, they mean too much glucose in the blood. Hypo, also Greek, means less than normal or deficient, in this case too little glucose in the blood. Both conditions are commonly associated with diabetes...

Managing Blood Glucose Properly Can Save Big Bucks
In hospitalized patients, managing blood glucose levels is a complex and sometimes controversial issue. For about 20 percent of the hospitalized population, hyperglycemia (excess blood sugar) has a significant detrimental impact, which includes increased mortality. This also correlates with increased morbidity, negative outcomes, increased length of stay in the ICU and in the hospital. Additionally, it is associated with higher...

A Community Hospital Conquers Hyperglycemia and Becomes a Best Practice Site
Concerned about its inability to stabilize glucose levels in its most acutely ill patients, Wilson Memorial Hospital, a 71-bed community hospital, engaged a well-known glycemic benchmarking service. The service found the hospital in the lowest quartile of benchmarked hospitals nationwide. Knowing that hyperglycemia correlates with poor clinical outcomes and mortality in patients with and without a history of diabetes, naturally...

Location in Hospital Plays Large Part in Glycemic Control
High blood sugar can result from hypothermia, which may be induced to improve neurologic outcome in unconscious patients. Certain patient populations, such as post-cardiac and post-cardiothoracic surgery, in particular, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of hyperglycemia. The evidence of a link between hyperglycemia and increased morbidity and mortality began emerging as early as the mid-1980s. While the results of...
