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.

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.

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).
