About this study

Official title: Glycemic Control in Diabetic Hospitalized Patients: a Cross Sectional Study

With the advanced management of diabetes and new innovative anti-hyperglycemic therapy hyperglycemia remains a culprit factor affecting the outcome of patients admitted to the hospital in general wards. Efforts from health care providers to assess and control blood sugar by a simplified method such as certified point of care hand-sized glucometers is the fruitful protocol if the results near the target that is endorsed by well-known diabetes societies. In non-critically patients the premeal blood sugar ≤140 mg /dl and ≤ 180 mg /dl after a meal. The unstable economy and political crises with the pandemic of Covid-19 making us use a glucometer to monitor and control the fluctuation of blood sugar in order to decrease the burden on the patients and health care providers in the form of a stay in the hospital and minimize wasting laboratory resources.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. glycemic control

    percentage of patients with glucose measurement (Random Blood Sugar, RBS, Fasting Blood Sugar, FBS) between 140-180 measured with bedside glucometers preferably before meals and at 6 am for fasting blood sugars or as directed by the physician

    Measured: From hospital admission to hospital discharge for a median of 7 days and up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. average blood glucose value per ward

    average blood glucose value per ward (medical vs. surgical vs ICU/CCU

    Measured: From hospital admission to hospital discharge for a median of 7 days and up to 1 month

  2. average per patient

    average blood glucose levels per patient

    Measured: From hospital admission to hospital discharge for a median of 7 days and up to 1 month
