Random or fasting glucose tests can target diabetes screening after MI | ACP Diabetes Monthly

Random or fasting glucose measurements can be used to screen for diabetes in patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction, a study found.

ICUs were faster to adopt tight glycemic control than to deadopt it | ACP Diabetes Monthly

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.

Closed-loop systems may improve inpatient glycemic control over subcutaneous insulin delivery | ACP Diabetes Monthly

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.

Improved mortality rates in diabetic ICU patients appear to be independent of glucose control, study finds | ACP Diabetes Monthly

Improved mortality rates in diabetic ICU patients over the past decade appear to be independent of glucose control, according to a new study.

Virtual glucose monitoring service may improve inpatient glycemic control | ACP Diabetes Monthly

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.

Liberal glucose control worked well for ICU patients with diabetes, study finds | ACP Diabetes Monthly

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

Prognostic value of acute-to-chronic glycemic ratio better than glycemia at admission for AMI patients | ACP Diabetes Monthly

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.
