Interdisciplinary position statement on management of hyperglycemia in peri-operative and intensive care

Sukhminder Jit Singh Bajwa et al. J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol. 2015 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

Hospitalized patients with diabetes pose numerous clinical challenges, including hyperglycemia, which may often be difficult to control. The therapeutic challenges are further accentuated by the difficulty in practical application of existing guidelines among Indian and South Asian patients. The present review highlights the various clinical challenges encountered during management of different diabetic hospitalized populations, and attempts to collate a set of practical, patient and physician friendly recommendations to manage hyperglycemia in such patients.

Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; hyperglycemia; inpatients; insulin analogues; insulin therapy.
