 Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized PatientsA Challenge and an Opportunity to Improve Care of Patients with Diabetes The inpatient setting provides an opportunity to identify individuals with previously undiagnosed diabetes, optimize therapy in those whose condition was previously poorly controlled, provide patient education, and implement a plan for postdischarge diabetes care in conjunction with the primary physician and other health care providers. The objective of this supplement is to address the opportunities and challenges of hyperglycemia in the hospital setting. This activity is supported by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk Inc., Princeton, New Jersey. |
