Glycemic Goals For Diabetes
IN-HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT • • • • •
PREVALENCE SURGERY MI INFECTION ICU
Consensus: Glycemic Targets in the Hospital
• Intensive care unit
– 110 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L)
• Medical/surgical floors – 110 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L) preprandial – 140 mg/dL (7.78 mmo/L) maximal glucose Values above 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) are an indication to monitor glucose levels more frequently to determine the direction of any glucose trend and the need for more intensive intervention. Achieving these targets may require consultation with an endocrinologist or diabetes specialist. American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. Available at: http://www.aace.com/pub/ICC/inpatientStatement.php. Accessed March 17, 2004.
Diabetes in Hospitalized Patients
• Fourth most common co-morbid condition among hospitalized patients • 10–12% of all hospital discharges • 29% of all cardiac surgery patients • 1–3 days longer hospital stay Hogan P, et al. Diabetes Care. 2003;26:917–932. American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. Available at: http://www.aace.com/pub/ICC/inpatientStatement.php. Accessed March 17, 2004.
Hyperglycemia in Patients With Undiagnosed Diabetes
• Hyperglycemia occurred in 38% of patients admitted to the hospital – 26% had known history of diabetes – 12% had no history of diabetes
• Newly discovered hyperglycemia was associated with: – Higher in-hospital mortality rate (16%) compared with patients with a history of diabetes (3%) and patients with normoglycemia (1.7%; both P < 0.01) – Longer hospital stays; higher admission rates to Umpierrez GE, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2002;87:978– 982.
Higher Costs: Diabetes in Hospitalized • • • • • •

– 60 doses per pen (30-day supply) – Ready to use, easy to teach
See Important Safety Information included in this presentation
Summary • The evidence is overwhelming that good control does count • Morbidity and mortality can be reduced • There is nothing inevitable about the complications of diabetes
Summary (cont) • The cost of diabetes is in its complications • Any expense paid up front in better management will pay off handsomely in the long run • The tools for good diabetes care already exist • No tool is more important than the services of a certified diabetes educator
Summary (cont) • Assessment tools include Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose and HbA1C • Targets should be established for each of these for each patients within the national guidelines • When targets are not reached the help of a specialist should be sought • Christopher D. Saudek MD. Pres. ADA 2002
Summary Insulin administration should mimic nature Natures way is basal insulin 24 hrs. a day And bolus insulin with every feeding Insulin lispro, asparte or glulisine can supply bolus • Insulin glargine or detemir can supply the basal with one injection per day • Control of blood sugar will prevent the complications of diabetes • • • •
