Download or read book Managing Diabetes and Hyperglycemia in the Hospital Setting written by Boris Draznin and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of patients with diabetes increases annually, it is not surprising that the number of patients with diabetes who are admitted to the hospital also increases. Once in the hospital, patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia may be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, require urgent or elective surgery, enteral or parenteral nutrition, intravenous insulin infusion, or therapies that significantly impact glycemic control (e.g., steroids). Because many clinical outcomes are influenced by the degree of glycemic control, knowledge of the best practices in inpatient diabetes management is extremely important. The field of inpatient management of diabetes and hyperglycemia has grown substantially in the last several years. This body of knowledge is summarized in this book, so it can reach the audience of hospitalists, endocrinologists, nurses and other team members who take care of hospitalized patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia.

Download or read book Practical CGM written by Gary Scheiner and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of real-time continuous glucose monitors among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is growing rapidly and should continue to grow until an artificial pancreas is brought to market. Likewise, use of professional systems in healthcare practices is expanding. But, other than manufacturer instructional manuals and some book chapters on CGMs, there are no standalone publications available with concise, non-commercial instructions on CGM prescription and use. Additionally, continuous glucose monitors are too often not used to their full and proper potential. This leaves users with suboptimal glucose control and can result in system abandonment. To address this, diabetes educator and author Gary Scheiner has created Practical CGM: Improving Patient Outcomes through Continuous Glucose Monitoring to give healthcare providers the skill to make more effective use of the data generated by continuous glucose monitors, in both real-time and on a retrospective analytic basis. Using a plain-language approach and distilling content to concise, practical tips and techniques, Scheiner has created a guide that will help practitioners optimize patient use of CGM systems and, ultimately, improve glucose control and patient health outcomes.

Download or read book Functional Insulin Treatment written by Kinga Howorka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional Insulin Treatment (FIT) is the most effective method of treatment for type 1(insulin-dependent) diabetes available today. Whether with an insulin pump or with multiple daily injections, the diabetic patient trained in FIT is able to dose his insulin on the basis of actual fuction so that he achieves near-normoglycemia and the freedom to eat when, what and how much he wants. The goal of FIT is to adapt the therapy to the lifestyle of the patient. This book creates a common basis for communication among therapists (physicians, nurses, dietitians, diabetes educators) and patients involved in FIT. It clearly defines the principles of the treatment and describes the contents, media and techniques of a practical program for training patients to carry it out.

Download or read book Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring written by Francine R. Kaufman and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being diagnosed with diabetes, no longer means giving up an active life. New technology, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, can help people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes stay active and flexible and maintain healthy attitudes and lifestyles. Designed to mimic the action of the pancreas, insulin pumps are small, pager-sized devices that infuse insulin under the skin based on programmed rates. Not only does this eliminate the need for injections, it also allows for small amounts of insulin to to be released throughout the day, and large amounts to be administered at meals based on what's being eaten. When paired with a continuous glucose monitor, which provides a continuous readout of glucose levels, users can enjoy accurate, tight glucose control that provides much greater flexibility and freedom than the old check-and-inject method. Dr. Francine Kaufman's Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring explains the advances in glucose management, and thoroughly discusses the technology, as well as the physical and psychological aspects of diabetes care. It provides a comprehensive medical approach toward diabetes management and pump therapy with an appreciation of the real-life challenges and frustrations faced every day by people with diabetes.

Download or read book Insulin Delivery and Glucose Monitoring Methods written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus is defined as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from: defects in insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells; resistance to insulin action at the level of skeletal muscle, liver, and fat; or both. The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. is currently 7.7% and is expected to increase to nearly 10% by 2050. Type 1 diabetes, which accounts for 5 to 10% of all diabetes cases, is characterized by insulin deficiency and a need for daily insulin administration to sustain life, maintain normoglycemia, and maintain normal body weight and promote normal growth and development in children. Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 90 to 95% of diabetes in the U.S., is the result of a combination of insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion by the beta cells of the endocrine pancreas. In current practice, tight glycemic control is achieved through the use of physiological basal and meal-time (prandial) insulin that, when used together, mimic normal pancreatic function. Patients take these medications either as three or more daily injections [multiple daily injections (MDI)], or by external continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) via a pump, which provides a more physiological means to deliver insulin. The challenges to use of SMBG are the associated pain, costs, behavioral and technical skills, required motivation, and intrusiveness. These challenges directly affect adherence to this technique and are barriers to tight glycemic control. In response to these issues, the health care industry has developed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems that record blood glucose levels throughout the day and night with a significantly decreased need for fingerstick measurements. A CGM system, in conjunction with intensive insulin treatment, can be a useful tool to lower blood glucose values in adults who are at least 25 years of age and have type 1 diabetes. Success in lowering blood glucose levels depends on adherence to ongoing use of the device. CSII is currently recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes who are not achieving glycemic goals despite adherence to a maximum MDI regimen. Given new technologies in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring, clinicians are now faced with determining which patient populations benefit most from the use of CSII and rt-CGM in terms of improved glycemic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes. Because both technologies are expensive and require extensive training and oversight by health care professionals, it is critical to determine how to select patients for their use. Our recent systematic review examined specific questions about the comparative effectiveness of insulin delivery and glucose monitoring methods. The review found that intensive insulin therapy delivered either by CSII and MDI is equally effective in lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes. Intensive insulin therapy delivered by both methods resulted in similar rates of severe hypoglycemia for adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes. The review also found evidence that rt-CGM is superior to SMBG in lowering HbA1c, without altering the risk balance of severe hypoglycemia, particularly among those who are compliant with wearing the monitoring device. Even though CSII and MDI without rt-CGM have similar effects on HbA1c, the addition of rt-CGM to CSII is superior to MDI/SMBG in lowering HbA1c. Thus, the addition of this monitoring method to SMBG and intensive insulin therapy can assist in achieving glycemic targets in individuals with type 1 diabetes. However, the review also identified several important gaps in the evidence. The objective of this report is to prioritize the needs for research addressing those gaps in the existing literature on management of insulin-requiring diabetes by engaging expert stakeholders using a modified Delphi method.
