Patients with pumps
As insulin pumps become more common, hospitalists need plans to manage them. Learn about the issues that can arise, including potentially difficult negotiations with patients, in the April ACP Hospitalist.

ICUs were faster to adopt tight glycemic control than to deadopt it
Glycemic control gradually tightened in U.S. ICUs after the publication of a trial supporting tight control, but practice changed little when a subsequent trial found harm from tight control, a new study notes.

Virtual glucose monitoring service may improve inpatient glycemic control
The service used the electronic health record to send daily reports on inpatients with abnormal glucose values or insulin pump use to experienced diabetes clinicians who could remotely enter a glucose management note with insulin recommendations.

Prognostic value of acute-to-chronic glycemic ratio better than glycemia at admission for AMI patients
Patients' A/C glycemic ratio predicted a composite of in-hospital mortality, acute pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock as well as troponin I peak value, a prospective study in Italy found.

Liberal glucose control worked well for ICU patients with diabetes, study finds
ICU patients who were given insulin only when glucose exceeded 14 mmol/L (>252 mg/dL) had slightly less hypoglycemia and similar creatinine levels, white cell counts, and mortality rates versus those treated with insulin when glucose exceeded 10 mmol/L (>180 mg/dL).

Closed-loop systems may improve inpatient glycemic control over subcutaneous insulin delivery
Inpatients with type 2 diabetes who received automated closed-loop delivery of insulin spent more time in the target blood glucose range than those who received insulin subcutaneously, with no difference in rates of hypoglycemia.

Intensive treatment of hyperglycemia during ischemic stroke did not improve functional recovery
In patients with acute ischemic stroke and hyperglycemia, a target glucose level of 80 to 130 mg/dL was associated with more hypoglycemia and no difference in functional outcomes compared to a target of 80 to 179 mg/dL.
