ObjectiveAlthough the importance of glycemic control is well established for patients with diabetes hospitalized for surgical problems, it has not been supported by clinical studies for patients with diabetes hospitalized on the medical floors.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 378 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted for cardiac or infectious disease (ID) diagnosis between September 1, 2011, and August 1, 2012. Exclusion criteria included type 1 diabetes, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), hospital stay shorter than 3 days, and daily glucocorticoid dose > 20 mg of methylprednisolone. The primary composite outcome included death during hospitalization, ICU transfer, initiation of enteral or parenteral nutrition, line infection, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, rise in plasma creatinine by 1 or > 2 mg/dL, new infection, an infection lasting for more than 20 days, and readmission within 30 days and between 1 and 10 months after discharge.ResultsPatients were stratified by mean blood glucose (BG) level: group 1 had mean BG of < 180 mg/dL (n = 286; mean BG, 142 ± 23 mg/dL), whereas group 2 had mean BG levels > 181 mg/dL (n = 92; mean BG, 218 ± 34 mg/dL; P < .0001). Group 2 had a 46% higher occurrence of the primary outcome (P < .0004). The rate of unfavorable events was greater in cardiac and ID patients with worse glycemic control (group 2).ConclusionOur data strongly support a positive influence of better glycemic control (average glycemia < 180 mg/dL or 10 mmol/L) on outcomes of hospitaliza-tion in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ObjectiveChronic critical illness (CCI) is a term used to designate patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy with associated poor outcomes. The present study assessed the impact of glycemic parameters on outcomes in a CCI population.MethodsA retrospective case series was performed including 148 patients in The Mount Sinai Hospital Respiratory Care Unit (2009-2010). Utilizing a semi-parametric mixture model, trajectories for the daily mean blood glucose (BG), BG range, and hypoglycemia rate over time identified low- (n = 87) and high-risk (n = 61) hyperglycemia groups and low- (n = 90) and high-risk (n = 58) hypoglycemia groups. The cohort was also classified into diabetes (DM, n = 48), stress hyperglycemia (SH, n = 85), and normal glucose (n = 15) groups.ResultsHospital- (28% vs. 13%, P = .0199) and 1-year mortality (66% vs. 46%, P = .0185) rates were significantly greater in the high- versus low-risk hyperglycemia groups, respectively. The hypoglycemia rate (< 70 mg/dL) was lower among ventilator-liberated patients compared to those who failed to liberate (0.092 vs. 0.130, P < .0001). In the SH group, both hospital mortality (high-risk hyperglycemia 48% and low-risk hyperglycemia 15%, P = .0013) and 1-year mortality (high-risk 74% and low-risk 50%, P = .0482) remained significantly different, while no significant difference in the diabetes group was observed. There were lower hypoglycemia rates with SH compared to diabetes (< 70 mg/dL: 0.086 vs. 0.182, P < .0001; < 40 mg/dL: 0.012 vs. 0.022, P = .0118, respectively).ConclusionTighter glycemic control was associated with improved outcomes in CCI patients with SH but not in CCI patients with diabetes. Confirmation of these findings may lead to stratified glycemic control protocols in CCI patients based on the presence or absence of diabetes. (Endocr Pract. 2014;20:884-893)  相似文献

ObjectiveTo provide data on glucose control in hospitals in the United States, analyzing measurements from the largest number of facilities to date.MethodsPoint-of-care bedside glucose (POC-BG) test results were extracted from 575 hospitals from January 2009 to December 2009 by using a laboratory information management system. Glycemic control for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU areas was assessed by calculating patient-day-weighted mean POC-BG values and rates of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. The relationship between POC-BG levels and hospital characteristics was determined.ResultsA total of 49,191,313 POC-BG measurements (12,176,299 ICU and 37,015,014 non-ICU values) were obtained from 3,484,795 inpatients (653,359 in the ICU and 2,831,436 in non-ICU areas). The mean POC-BG was 167 mg/dL for ICU patients and 166 mg/dL for nonICU patients. The prevalence of hyperglycemia (> 180 mg/ dL) was 32.2% of patient-days for ICU patients and 32.0% of patient-days for non-ICU patients. The prevalence of hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dL) was 6.3% of patient-days for ICU patients and 5.7% of patient-days for non-ICU patients. Patient-day-weighted mean POC-BG levels varied on the basis of hospital size (P < .01), type (P < .01), and geographic location (P < .01) for ICU and non-ICU patients, with larger hospitals (≥ 400 beds), academic hospitals, and US hospitals in the West having the lowest mean POC-BG values. The percentage of patient-days in the ICU characterized by hypoglycemia was highest among larger and academic hospitals (P < .05) and least among hospitals in the Northeast (P < .001).ConclusionHyperglycemia is common in hospitals in the United States, and glycemic control may vary on the basis of hospital characteristics. Increased hospital participation in data collection may support a national benchmarking process for the development of optimal practices to manage inpatient hyperglycemia.

Objective: Consensus guidelines recommend that intensive care unit (ICU) patients with blood glucose (BG) levels >180 mg/dL receive continuous intravenous insulin (CII). The effectiveness of CII at controlling BG levels among patients who are eating relative to those who are eating nothing by mouth (nil per os; NPO) has not been described.Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 260 adult patients (156 eating, 104 NPO) admitted to an ICU between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014, who received CII. Patients were excluded for a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome, admission to an obstetrics service, or receiving continuous enteral or parenteral nutrition.Results: Among 22 baseline characteristics, the proportion of patients receiving glucocorticoid treatment (GCTx) (17.3% eating, 37.5% NPO; P<.001) and APACHE II score (15.0 ± 7.5 eating, 17.9 ± 7.9 NPO; P = .004) were significantly different between eating and NPO patients. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of patient-day weighted mean BG overall (153 ± 8 mg/dL eating, 156 ± 7 mg/dL NPO; P = .73), or day-by-day BG (P = .37) adjusted for GCTx and APACHE score. Surprisingly, there was a significant difference in the distribution of BG values, with eating patients having a higher percentage of BG readings in the recommended range of 140 to 180 mg/dL. However, eating patients showed greater glucose variability (coefficient of variation 23.1 ± 1.0 eating, 21.2 ± 1.0 NPO; P = .034).Conclusion: Eating may not adversely affect BG levels of ICU patients receiving CII. Whether or not prandial insulin improves glycemic control in this setting should be studied.Abbreviations: BG = blood glucose; CII = continuous insulin infusion; CV = coefficient of variation; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; ICU = intensive care unit; NPO = nil per os; PDWMBG = patient day weighted mean blood glucose  相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess the availability and clinical value of blood glucose (BG) testing at the time of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) after such testing was implemented as routine care in the ICU.MethodsWe studied ICU admission BG testing rates and the prevalence of hyperglycemia. In this effort, we assessed the frequency of baseline BG testing in 330 consecutive patients during a period of 3 months and then implemented routine BG monitoring in 1,147 consecutive ICU patients during a 7-month period.ResultsOf the total study population, 25% had previously diagnosed diabetes (PDD). At baseline, 70% had BG measured within 4 hours before or after ICU admission (99% of patients with and 60% of patients without PDD). After implementation of routine BG monitoring, there was a significant increase in testing (70% before versus 87% after, /40.001; 70% during the baseline 3-month period versus 93% in the final 3 months of the study, P < 0.001). In patients without PDD, 41% had BG levels ≥ 140 mg/dL, and 8% had BG concentrations ≥ 200 mg/dL. Overall in the ICU setting, 57% of BG values ≥ 140 mg/dL and 33% of BG levels > 200 mg/dL were in patients without PDD. Frequencies of BG testing by admission diagnosis included the following (at baseline and during the final 3 months after implementation of routine BG tests): post-surgical status (46%, 85%), peripheral vascular disease (51%, 90%), neurologic disease (52%, 83%), gastrointestinal disease (58%, 91%), infection (69%, 100%), and diabetes (100%, 100%).ConclusionRates of routine BG testing are low in ICU patients without PDD. Elevations in BG levels were detected in 41% of our study patients without PDD, suggesting that routine implementation of BG monitoring in an ICU will identify patients at increased risk for hyperglycemia-associated higher morbidity and mortality.

ObjectiveReport data on glucose control from 635 U.S. hospitals.MethodsPoint-of-care blood glucose (POC-BG) test data from January through December 2012 from 635 facilities were extracted. Glucose control was evaluated using patient-day–weighted mean POC-BG values. We calculated hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia rates, stratified by presence or absence of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and we evaluated the relationship between glycemic control and hospital characteristics.ResultsIn total, 51,375,764 POC-BG measurements (non-ICU, 39,197,762; ICU, 12,178,002) from 2,612,966 patients (non-ICU, 2,415,209; ICU, 575,084) were analyzed. The mean POC-BG was 167 mg/dL for non-ICU patients and 170 mg/dL for ICU patients. The prevalence of hyperglycemia (defined as glucose value > 180 mg/dL) was 32.3 and 28.2% in non-ICU and ICU patients, respectively. The prevalence of hypoglycemia (defined as glucose value < 70 mg/dL) was 6.1 and 5.6% in non-ICU and ICU patients, respectively. In non-ICU and ICU settings, the patient-day–weighted mean glucose was highest in the smallest hospitals, in rural hospitals, and in hospitals located in the Northeast (all P < .01). For non-ICU patients, we observed a significant difference in the percentage of patient days with hypoglycemia by geographic region only (P < .001). In ICU patients, the prevalence of hypoglycemia varied significantly by hospital type (P < .03) and geographic region (P < .01).ConclusionIn this largest POC-BG data set analysis conducted to date, glycemic control varied according to hospital characteristics. Our findings remain consistent with previous reports. Among other variables, national benchmarking of inpatient glucose data will need to consider differences in hospital characteristics.

ObjectiveHyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients treated with total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The role of glucose variability (GV) in predicting outcomes in these patients is not known.MethodsThis retrospective study included medical and surgical patients receiving TPN in a community teaching hospital. GV was calculated by standard deviation (SD) of blood glucose (BG) values and by mean BG daily (Δ) change (daily max – daily minimum).ResultsA total of 276 medical and surgical patients (mean age: 51 ± 18 years), 19% with a history of diabetes mellitus (DM), and 74% with intensive care unit (ICU) admission were treated with TPN. During TPN, the mean daily BG was 142.9 ± 33 mg/dL; frequencies of hypoglycemia < 70 and < 40 mg/dL were 41% and 3%, respectively; and hospital mortality was 27.2%. The mean GV by SD was 38 ± 21 mg/dL and by mean (Δ) change 58 ± 34 mg/dL. GV was significantly higher in deceased patients (SD: 48 ± 25 vs. 34 ± 18 mg/dL and Δ change: 75 ± 39 vs. 51 ± 29 mg/dL, both P < .01) than surviving patients. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, DM status, gender, APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) score, mean daily glucose, and hypoglycemia revealed that GV was an independent predictor of hospital mortality (P < .05). The association between GV and mortality was limited to patients without a history of DM and was not present in patients with DM.ConclusionHigh GV is associated with increased hospital mortality independent of the presence and severity of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia during TPN therapy. Prospective randomized trials are needed to determine if reduction in GV with intensive glycemic control improves clinical outcomes in patients treated with TPN.

ObjectiveTo report the results of implementation of a Targeted Glycemic Management (TGM) Service pilot, with the goals of improving clinician awareness of available inpatient glycemic management protocols and improving responsiveness to and frequency of severe hyperglycemia.MethodsPatients with a blood glucose (BG) level ≥ 300 mg/dL who were hospitalized on a general medicine unit during three 12-week periods before, during, and after the TGM pilot were compared for responsiveness by the primary team, percentage of subsequent BG measurements between 80 and 180 mg/dL, and frequency of subsequent severe hyperglycemia (BG levels ≥ 300 mg/dL) and hypoglycemia (BG values < 70 mg/dL).ResultsIn comparison with pre-TGM and post-TGM periods, more patients during the TGM pilot had a modification of their glycemic regimen in response to severe hyperglycemia (49% versus 73% versus 50%, before, during, and after TGM, respectively; P = .044), and the percentage of patients with ≥ 50% of subsequent BG measurements in the desired range (27% versus 53% versus 32%; P = .035) was greatest during the TGM period. The incidence of subsequent severe hyperglycemia (20% versus 9% versus 16%; P = .0004) was lowest during the TGM period; however, the incidence of hypoglycemia was similar in all 3 periods (3.9% versus 3.7% versus 3.7%).ConclusionThese results indicate that a TGM Service can favorably influence glycemic management practices and improve glycemic control, but ongoing intervention is necessary for maintenance of these results.

ObjectiveTo compare efficacy and safety of biphasic insulin aspart 70/30 (BIAsp 30) with insulin (glargine) in type 2 diabetic patients who were not maintaining glycemic control on basal insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs.MethodsIn a 24-week, open-label, parallel-group trial, type 2 diabetic patients who were not maintaining glycemic control on basal insulin (glargine or neutral protamine Hagedorn) + oral antidiabetic drugs were randomly assigned to twice-daily BIAsp 30 + metformin or oncedaily glargine + metformin + secretagogues (secretagogues were discontinued in the BIAsp 30 arm).ResultsOne hundred thirty-seven patients were randomly assigned to the BIAsp 30 group and 143 patients were randomly assigned to the glargine group. Of 280 patients randomized, 229 (81.8%) completed the study. End-of-trial hemoglobin A1c reductions were − 1.3% (BIAsp 30) vs − 1.2% (glargine) (treatment difference: 95% confidence interval, − 0.06 [− 0.32 to 0.20]; P = .657). Of patients taking BIAsp 30, 27.3% reached a hemoglobin A1c level < 7.0% compared with 22.0% of patients taking glargine (treatment difference: P = .388). Glucose increment averaged over 3 meals was lower in the BIAsp 30 arm (treatment difference: − 17.8 mg/dL, P = .001). Fasting plasma glucose reductions from baseline were − 13.8 mg/ dL (BIAsp 30) vs − 42.5 mg/dL (glargine) (P = .0002). Final minor hypoglycemia rate, insulin dose, and weight change were higher in the BIAsp 30 arm (6.5 vs 3.4 events/patient per year, P <.05; 1.19 vs 0.63 U/kg; and 3.1 vs 1.4 kg, P = .0004, respectively).ConclusionsDespite not receiving secretagogues, patients taking BIAsp 30 + metformin achieved similar hemoglobin A1c levels and lower postprandial plasma glucose compared with those receiving glargine + metformin + secretagogues. The large improvement in the glargine group suggests the patients were not true basal failures at randomization. While switching to BIAsp 30 improves glycemic control in this patient population, remaining on basal insulin and optimizing the dose may be equally effective in the short term.

ObjectiveThe mean blood glucose (MBG) level obtained from self-monitored capillary glucose (SMCG) data is a readily available metric of glycemic control for patients and their physicians. However, whether there is agreement between SMCG MBG levels and MBG levels obtained from 24-hour intensive glucose sampling is unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between MBG levels derived from SMCG data and glucose data derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).MethodsSMCG and CGM were concurrently performed in 104 patients with diabetes and prediabetes over 3 to 6 days. MBG data obtained from SMCG and CGM were compared by standard correlation and Bland-Altman analyses.ResultsSMCG and CGM MBG data from the longest duration of sampling were highly correlated (r = 0.965; P < .001). Single-day MBG estimates from both sources were also highly correlated, with r values ranging from 0.833 to 0.927. A SMCG MBG level of 166.1 ± 55 mg/dL (derived from 14.1 ± 4.6 samples) tended to slightly underestimate the concurrent CGM MBG level of 171.1 ± 56.4 mg/dL (derived from 1,063 ± 283 samples). The SMCG MBG was within 30 mg/dL of the CGM MBG in 94.6% of patients and within 15 mg/dL in 67% of patients. The difference between the estimates tended to increase with increasing SD of the MBG obtained from CGM (r = 0.38; P < .0001).ConclusionMBG estimated from SMCG is a reasonable estimate of a patient’s CGM MBG over the same period of time and with caveats could be used as a practical guide for long-term glycemic control that can be considered in tandem with the patient’s hemoglobin A1c in endocrine practice.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of initial combination therapy with metformin plus colesevelam in patients with early type 2 diabetes.MethodsIn this 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, adults with type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1c [A1C] values of 6.5% to 10.0%) and hypercholesterolemia (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] levels ≥ 100 mg/dL) were randomly assigned (1:1) to colesevelam (3.75 g/d) or placebo in combination with open-label metformin (850 mg/d; uptitrated at week 2 to 1, 700 mg/d). The primary efficacy evaluation was change in A1C from baseline to study end (week 16 with last observation carried forward).ResultsIn total, 286 patients were randomized: metformin/colesevelam (n = 145) or metformin/placebo (n = 141). Mean A1C was reduced by 1.1% with metformin/ colesevelam (from 7.8% at baseline to 6.6% at study end) and by 0.8% with metformin/placebo (from 7.5% to 6.7%), resulting in a treatment difference of -0.3% at study end (P = .0035). In addition, metformin/colesevelam significantly reduced LDL-C (-16.3%), total cholesterol (-6.1%), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-8.3%), apolipoprotein B (-8.0%), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (-17%) and increased apolipoprotein A-I (+ 4.4%) and triglycerides (+ 18.6%) versus metformin/placebo (P < .01 for all). The proportions of patients who achieved recommended goals with metformin/colesevelam versus metformin/placebo, respectively, were as follows: A1C < 7.0% (67% versus 56% [P = .0092]), LDL-C < 100 mg/dL (48% versus 18% [P < .0001]), and composite A1C < 7.0% + LDL-C < 100 mg/dL (40% versus 12% [P < .0001]). Safety and tolerability were similar between the treatment groups.ConclusionMetformin plus colesevelam may be a valid option for initial therapy to achieve glycemic and lipid goals safely in early type 2 diabetes.

ObjectiveTo determine whether once-daily insulin glargine could provide better glycemic control after an abdominal surgical procedure than the traditional use of sliding scale regular insulin (SSRI).MethodsBecause 20% to 30% of patients undergoing gastric bypass have a history of overt diabetes and another 5% to 10% are estimated to have impaired glucose tolerance, we chose to study these patients. We treated 81 patients with postoperative blood glucose levels of more than 144 mg/dL after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgical procedure. They were randomized to receive either SSRI or insulin glargine either directly or after initial intravenous insulin infusion in the intensive care unit (ICU).ResultsOverall, the mean blood glucose level after SSRI therapy was 154 ± 33 mg/dL, and the mean blood glucose value after insulin glargine treatment was 134 ± 30 mg/dL (P < 0.01). The mean blood glucose level for patients first treated with intravenous insulin infusion in the ICU was 125 mg/dL, in comparison with 145 mg/dL in the non-ICU patients whose treatment began directly with 0.3 U/kg of insulin glargine. Of 926 blood glucose measurements, only 3 were less than 60 mg/dL.ConclusionIn this study, control of postoperative hyperglycemia was significantly better with use of insulin glargine in comparison with SSRI therapy, and hypo-glycemia was very infrequent.

ObjectiveTo determine whether patterns of glucose changes before hypoglycemia vary according to the severity of the event.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, point-ofcare blood glucose (POC-BG) data were obtained from the intensive care units (ICUs) of a convenience sample of hospitals that responded to a survey on inpatient diabetes management quality improvement initiatives. To evaluate POC-BG levels before hypoglycemic events, data from patients who experienced hypoglycemia during their time in the ICU were examined, and their glucose changes were assessed against a comparison group of patients who achieved a glycemic range of 80 to 110 mg/dL without ever experiencing hypoglycemia. Absolute glucose decrease, glucose rate of change, and glucose variability before hypoglycemic events (< 40, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69 mg/ dL) were calculated.ResultsA total of 128 419 POC-BG measurements from 2942 patients in 89 ICUs were analyzed. Patients who experienced the most severe hypoglycemic episodes had the largest absolute drop in their glucose levels before the event (P < .001). The glucose rate of change before a hypoglycemic event increased with worsening hypoglycemia: mean (± standard deviation) glucose rate of change was-1.69 (± 2.98) mg/dL per min before an episode with glucose values less than 40 mg/dL, -0.56 (± 2.65) mg/dL per min before an episode with glucose values 60 to 69 mg/dL, but only -0.39 (± 0.70) for patients who attained a glucose range of 80 to 110 mg/dL without hypoglycemia (P < .001). Glucose variability before an event progressively increased with worsening biochemical hypoglycemia and was least among patients achieving glucose concentrations in the 80 to 110-mg/dL range without hypoglycemia (P < .001).ConclusionsAntecedent glucose change and variability were greater for patients who experienced hypoglycemia. If monitored, these patterns could potentially alert clinicians and help them take preventive measures. Further examination of how these parameters interact with other predisposing risk factors for hypoglycemia is warranted. (Endocr Pract. 2012;18:317-324)  相似文献

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers in obese adolescents based on diabetes status and race in order to improve risk-reduction intervention strategies.MethodsThis was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of obese adolescents, age 10 to 21 years, who were evaluated at Children’s of Alabama between 2000 and 2012. Subjects were classified by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as having normoglycemia, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).ResultsThere were a total of 491 African American (AA) or Caucasian American (CA) subjects. Body mass index was not different between HbA1c and racial groups. Compared to subjects with normoglycemia or prediabetes, subjects with T2DM had higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) (178.6 ± 43.8 mg/dL vs. 161.5 ± 32.5 mg/dL vs. 162.4 ± 30.6 mg/dL; P < .0001) and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (107.4 ± 39.2 mg/dL vs. 97.0 ± 31.0 mg/dL vs. 97.5 ± 26.9 mg/dL; P = .0073). Compared with AA subjects, CA subjects had lower high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (40.4 ± 10.4 mg/dL vs. 44.3 ± 11.9 mg/dL; P = .0005) and higher non-HDL-C levels (129.6 ± 36.2 mg/dL vs. 122.5 ± 37.5 mg/dL; P = .0490). Of the characteristics studied, HbA1c had the most significant positive association with dyslipidemia and was strongly correlated with both TC (β, 4.21; P < .0001) and non-HDL-C (β, 4.3; P < .0001).ConclusionObese adolescents with T2DM have more abnormal lipoprotein profiles than those with normoglycemia or prediabetes. Obese CA adolescents have more abnormal lipids than obese AA adolescents. HbA1c was the characteristic most highly associated with abnormal lipoprotein profiles in our subjects. Our results show that CVD risk markers in obese adolescents vary by race and HbA1c concentration. (Endocr Pract. 2015;21:165-173)  相似文献

ObjectiveTo analyze the influence of diabetes and hyperglycemia on duration of stay in patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure (CHF).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of data for patients admitted during a 6-month period with CHF to a community teaching hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Patients were divided into diabetic and nondiabetic groups, and patients with diabetes were stratified by mean fasting plasma glucose levels into the following groups: < 110 mg/dL, 110 to 180 mg/dL, and > 180 mg/dL. The primary outcome was duration of hospitalization. Other variables included sex, age, ejection fraction, admission glucose, brain natriuretic peptide, creatinine, and other comorbidities.ResultsThe study cohort consisted of 142 patients, 49% of whom had diabetes. The duration of hospitalization was 3.23 days in the patients with diabetes versus 3.11 days in those without diabetes (P = .875). Patients with diabetes were significantly younger (71.8 versus 76.6 years; P = .027) and had a higher baseline mean creatinine level (1.4 versus 1.2 mg/dL; P = .010). Patients with diabetes in the 110 to 180 mg/dL blood glucose group had shorter hospitalizations than did those in the < 110 mg/dL group (2.94 versus 3.41 days; P = .259). Only 9 patients had blood glucose levels > 180 mg/dL, and these patients had the longest hospitalizations (mean duration, 3.78 days).ConclusionThe prevalence of diabetes was higher in our study than in previously published studies of patients with CHF. Although patients with diabetes did not have significantly longer hospitalizations than those without diabetes, they were significantly younger and had higher baseline creatinine values. Hyperglycemia was an infrequent phenomenon among patients without diabetes. The patients with diabetes in the 110 to 180 mg/dL blood glucose group had shorter hospitalizations than did those in the < 110 mg/dL group, although this difference did not reach statistical significance. Many of the initial studies of tight glucose control were conducted in the surgical intensive care unit, but recently published evidence has raised doubt about applying these results to medical patients. We conclude that there may be no significant benefit in terms of duration of hospitalization in assigning patients with diabetes who have CHF exacerbations to tight glucose control regimens. A more liberal approach of maintaining glucose levels at 110 to 180 mg/dL may be acceptable. (Endocr Pract. 2008;14:691-696)  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare glycemic control with add-on insulin glargine versus pioglitazone treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsThis 48-week, multicenter, parallel-group, open-label study randomized 389 adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin A1c [A1C], 8.0% to 12.0%), despite ≥ 3 months of sulfonylurea or metformin monotherapy, to receive add-on therapy with insulin glargine or pioglitazone. Outcomes included A1C change from baseline to end point (primary), percentage of patients achieving A1C levels ≤ 7.0%, and changes from baseline in fasting plasma glucose, body mass index, weight, and serum lipids. The safety analysis included incidence of adverse events and rates of hypoglycemia.ResultsAt end point, insulin glargine yielded a significantly greater reduction in A1C in comparison with pioglitazone (-2.48% versus -1.86%, respectively; 95% confidence interval, -0.93 to -0.31; P = .0001, 48-week modified intent-to-treat population). Insulin glargine also yielded significantly greater reductions in fasting plasma glucose at all time points (end point difference, -34.9 mg/ dL; 95% confidence interval, -47.6 to -22.2; P < .0001). In comparison with pioglitazone, insulin glargine resulted in a lower overall incidence of possibly related treatmentemergent adverse events (12.0% versus 20.7%) and fewer study discontinuations (2.2% versus 9.1%), but a higher rate (per patient-year) of confirmed clinically relevant hypoglycemic episodes (blood glucose < 70 mg/dL and all severe hypoglycemia) (4.97 versus 1.04; P <.0001) and severe hypoglycemia (0.07 versus 0.01; P = .0309). Weight and body mass index changes were similar between the 2 treatment groups.ConclusionThe addition of insulin glargine early in the diabetes treatment paradigm in patients for whom sulfonylurea or metformin monotherapy had failed resulted in significantly greater improvements in glycemic control in comparison with the addition of pioglitazone. Although severe hypoglycemia was more frequent in patients with insulin glargine therapy, hypoglycemic events occurred in < 5% of patients in the insulin glargine treatment group.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Bromocriptine QR on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes whose glycemia is poorly controlled on one or two oral anti-diabetes agents.MethodsFive hundred fifteen Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) subjects (ages 18 to 80 and average body mass index [BMI] of 32.7) with baseline HbA1c ≥ 7.5 and on one or two oral anti-diabetes (OAD) medications (metformin, sulfonylurea, and/or thiazolidinediones) were randomized 2:1 to bromocriptine-QR (1.6 to 4.8 mg/day) or placebo for a 24 week treatment period. Study investigators were allowed to adjust, if necessary, subject anti diabetes medications during the study to attempt to achieve glycemic control in case of glycemic deterioration. The impact of bromocriptine-QR treatment intervention on glycemic control was assessed in subjects on any one or two OADs (ALL treatment category) (N = 515), or on metformin with or without another OAD (Met/OAD treatment category) (N = 356), or on metformin plus a sulfonylurea (Met/SU treatment category) (N = 245) 1) by examining the between group difference in change from baseline a) concomitant OAD medication changes during the study, and b) HbA1c and 2) by determining the odds of reaching HbA1c of ≤ 7.0% on bromocriptine-QR versus placebo.ResultsSignificantly more patients (approximately 1.5 to 2-fold more; P < .05) intensified concomitant anti diabetes medication therapy during the study in the placebo versus the bromocriptine-QR arm. In subjects that did not change the intensity of the baseline diabetes therapy (72%), and that were on any one or two OADs (ALL), or on metformin with or without another OAD (Met/OAD), or on metformin plus sulfonylurea (Met/SU), the HbA1c change for bromocriptine-QR versus placebo was − 0.47 versus + 0.22 (between group delta of − 0.69, P < .0001), − 0.55 versus + 0.26 (between group delta of − 0.81, P < .0001) and − 0.63 versus + 0.20 (between group delta of − 0.83, P < .0001) respectively, after 24 weeks on therapy. The odds ratio of reaching HbA1c of ≤ 7.0% was 6.50, 12.03 and 11.45 (P < .0002) for these three groups, respectively.ConclusionIn T2DM subjects whose hyperglycemia is poorly controlled on one or two oral agents, bromocrip tine-QR therapy for 24 weeks can provide significant added improvement in glycemic control relative to adding placebo.

ObjectiveTo determine whether glycemic control can be safely achieved with use of a simplified insulin infusion protocol in hospitalized patients who are not in the intensive care unit (ICU).MethodsWe developed a novel intravenous insulin protocol specifically designed for use in the non-ICU setting. We then collected clinical data on the first 30 patients treated with use of this protocol. Our study focused on safety and glycemic control.ResultsThe insulin infusion protocol was used in 30 patients for a total of 634 hours. A single hypoglycemic episode (glucose level < 60 mg/dL) occurred in 3 patients. The target mean glucose level of < 150 mg/dL was achieved in 9 hours. Once the glucose target had been achieved, the mean and median glucose concentrations were 156 mg/dL and 140 mg/dL, respectively.ConclusionUse of a simple intravenous insulin protocol can safely and effectively control the blood glucose level in patients in a non-ICU setting.

Objective: Basal/basal-bolus insulin with discontinuation of home oral antidiabetes medications (OADs) is the preferred method to achieve glycemic control in many hospitalized patients. We hypothesized that a subset of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can achieve an acceptable level of blood sugar control without cessation of their OADs when hospitalized.Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients with T2DM who were only on OADs at home, admitted to Fairview Hospital, a community hospital in the Cleveland Clinic Health System. We divided patients into those whose OADs were continued (group 1) and those whose OADs were discontinued (group 2), with or without the addition of insulin in the hospital. Blood glucose (BG) levels and patient characteristics were compared.Results: There were 175 patients, 73 in group 1 and 102 in group 2. The percentage of patients achieving all BG values within 100 to 180 mg/dL was the same between group 1 (21.9%) and group 2 (23.8%) (P = .78). Mean BG was similar between group 1 and group 2 (146.1 ± 41.4 mg/dL versus 152.1 ± 38.9 mg/dL; P = .33), with no significant difference in terms of percentage of patients with hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. A greater proportion of patients in group 1 had an uninterrupted feeding status, nonintensive care unit admission and no contrast dye exposure, and a shorter length of stay.Conclusion: Our study shows that patients with certain characteristics could achieve an acceptable level of glycemic control without cessation of their home OADs.Abbreviations: BG = blood glucose; DPP-4 = dipeptidyl dipeptidase 4; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; ICU = intensive care unit; LOS = length of stay; NPO = nil per os; OAD = oral antidiabetes medication; POC = point of care; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus  相似文献

Objective: Few randomized studies have focused on the optimal management of non–intensive care unit patients with type 2 diabetes in Latin America. We compared the safety and efficacy of a basal-bolus regimen with analogues and human insulins in general medicine patients admitted to a University Hospital in Asunción, Paraguay.Methods: In a prospective, open-label trial, we randomized 134 nonsurgical patients with blood glucose (BG) between 140 and 400 mg/dL to a basal-bolus regimen with glargine once daily and glulisine before meals (n = 66) or Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) twice daily and regular insulin before meals (n = 68). Major outcomes included differences in daily BG levels and frequency of hypoglycemic events between treatment groups.Results: There were no differences in the mean daily BG (157 ± 37 mg/dL versus 158 ± 44 mg/dL; P = .90) or in the number of BG readings within target <140 mg/dL before meals (76% versus 74%) between the glargine/glulisine and NPH/regular regimens. The mean insulin dose in the glargine/glulisine group was 0.76 ± 0.3 units/kg/day (glargine, 22 ± 9 units/day; glulisine, 31 ± 12 units/day) and was not different compared with NPH/regular group (0.75 ± 0.3 units/kg/day [NPH, 28 ± 12 units/day; regular, 23 ± 9 units/day]). The overall prevalence of hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) was similar between patients treated with NPH/regular and glargine/glulisine (38% versus 35%; P = .68), but more patients treated with human insulin had severe (<40 mg/dL) hypoglycemia (7.6% versus 25%; P = .08). There were no differences in length of hospital stay or mortality between groups.Conclusion: The basal-bolus regimen with insulin analogues resulted in equivalent glycemic control and frequency of hypoglycemia compared to treatment with human insulin in hospitalized patients with diabetes.Abbreviations: BG = blood glucose BMI = body mass index HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin NPH = Neutral Protamine Hagedorn T2D = type 2 diabetes  相似文献
