  • Title: Diabetes: the latest trends in glycemic control.
    Author: Giurini JM, Cook EA, Cook JJ.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2007 Apr; 24(2):159-89. PubMed ID: 17430766.
    Abstract:
    The increasing pervasiveness of diabetes mellitus on a global stage has been well documented. Many groundbreaking studies have detailed the consequences of inadequate glycemic control, but only recently have data supported evidence that demonstrates benefits in the acute setting. Consensus is lacking with regard to how to achieve glycemic control in the hospital setting. This article discusses glycemic control, with special emphasis on the perioperative patient. Emerging therapeutic treatments and less frequently encountered protocols such as insulin pump management and insulin infusion are considered.
