Using a national database derived from electronic medical records at 39 medical centers, investigators analyzed patterns of blood glucose (BG) control and documented insulin therapy among 16,534 patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction from January 2000 to December 2005. Of the 4940 patients (30%) with recognized diabetes mellitus (DM), nearly half (2412 patients, 49%) had mean BG >200 mg/dL during the first 24 hours after hospital admission. When the entire hospitalization was considered, 34% of DM patients had mean BG >200 mg/dL, while 61% had mean BG between 110 and 200 mg/dL, and only 5% maintained mean BG <110 mg/dL. Among patients without recognized DM, 8% had mean BG >200 mg/dL during the first 24 hours. When the entire hospitalization was considered, 4% of patients without known DM had mean BG >200 mg/dL, while 65% had mean BG between 110 and 200 mg/dL, and 31% had mean BG <110 mg/dL. Kosiborod M, Inzucchi S, Clark B, et al. National patterns of glucose control among patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2007;49(9):1018-183:283A-284A.
In a more recent study that involved 2020 consecutive patients admitted to a community hospital in Atlanta, we found that 64% of patients had normal glucose values, 26% had a prior history of diabetes, and that 12% of patients with hyperglycemia, as determined by 2 or more FBG > 126 or RBG > 200, did not had a know history of diabetes prior to admission.
Data from Norhammar et al indicate that in 181 consecutive patients hospitalized with MI and no diagnosed diabetes, 66% had undiagnosed glucose abnormalities, including undiagnosed diabetes or IGT. Matz et al found, in 238 consecutive patients hospitalized with stroke, 39% had either IGT or undiagnosed diabetes in addition to 20% with known diabetes. IGT and undiagnosed DM2 are common in acute MI and stroke
For the majority of noncritically ill patients treated with insulin, the premeal blood glucose (BG) target should generally be less than 140 mg/dL in conjunction with random BG levels less than 180 mg/dL, provided these targets can be safely achieved. To avoid hypoglycemia, consideration should be given to reassessing the insulin regimen if BG levels decline below 100 mg/dL. Modification of the regimen is necessary when BG values are <70 mg/dL, unless the event is easily explained by other factors (such as a missed meal). More stringent targets may be appropriate in stable patients in whom tight glycemic control was achieved previously. Less stringent targets may be appropriate in terminally ill patients or patients with severe comorbidities. Hypoglycemia is defined as any BG level <70 mg/dL. Severe hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients has been defined by many clinicians as BG <40 mg/dL, although this value is lower than the approximate 50 mg/dL level at which cognitive impairment begins in normal persons. Scheduled subcutaneous administration of insulin, with basal, nutritional, and correction components, is the preferred method for achieving and maintaining glucose control. Prolonged treatment with sliding-scale insulin as the sole regimen is discouraged. Noninsulin antihyperglycemic agents are not appropriate in most hospitalized patients who require treatment for hyperglycemia.

09-00953B_CHF_CaseStudy_r16 04/07/11 19:08 RABBIT-2 Trial: Basal-Bolus Insulin Regimen Key point: In the sliding-scale group, 65 patients received regular human insulin (RHI 4 times daily for blood glucose (BG) above 140 mg/dL 1 Eating status 1 : Eating – RHI was given before each meal and at bedtime according to the “usual” column of the sliding-scale protocol. Not eating – RHI was given every 6 hours according to the “insulin sensitive” column of the sliding-scale protocol. Persistent hyperglycemia 1 : If fasting and premeal plasma glucose levels remained persistently >140 mg/dL (without hypoglycemia), the insulin dosing was progressively increased (from “insulin sensitive” to “usual” or from “usual” to “insulin resistant”) If the mean daily BG level was >240 mg/dL, or if 3 consecutive BG levels were >240 mg/dL on the maximal dose allowed by the protocol, patients were switched to the basal-bolus insulin regimen Hypoglycemia 1 : If hypoglycemia developed, the insulin dosing was decreased (from “insulin resistant” to “usual” or from “usual” to “insulin sensitive”) [1/Umpierrez.

Key Point: Patients randomized to basal-bolus therapy achieved better glycemic control compared with those receiving sliding-scale insulin delivery in a hospitalized, non – ICU setting. This multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized study enrolled 130 nonsurgical, insulin-naïve patients with a known history of diabetes for >3 months, admitted to medical general services with a blood glucose level between 140 and 400 mg/dL. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either sliding-scale regular insulin (SSRI; n=65) 4 times daily or a basal-bolus regimen with insulins glargine and glulisine (n=65). The goal of insulin therapy was to maintain fasting and premeal blood glucose levels <140 mg/dL while avoiding hypoglycemia. Compared with the basal-bolus group, patients who received sliding-scale insulin delivery had higher mean fasting glucose (165 ± 41 vs 147 ± 36 mg/dL, respectively, P < .01), mean random glucose (189 ± 42 vs 164 ± 35 mg/dL, respectively, P < .001), and mean glucose (193 ± 54 vs 166 ± 32 mg/dL, respectively, P < .001) during the hospital stay. The overall BG difference between treatment groups was 27 mg/dL ( P < .01), with a mean daily BG difference ranging from 23 to 58 mg/dL during days 2 through 6 of therapy ( P < .01).

Diabetes Care. 2007;30(9):2181-2186.
Key Point: A significant number of patients in the basal-bolus group reached the BG target of <140 mg/dL. Blood glucose levels significantly improved in patients who had failed sliding-scale insulin delivery and were switched to the basal-bolus regimen. With the BG target of <140 mg/dL, 66% (43 patients) in the basal-bolus group reached the target, while only 38% (25 patients) in the sliding-scale insulin delivery group met this goal. Fourteen percent (9 patients) of the patients treated with sliding-scale insulin delivery remained severely hyperglycemic, defined as BG >240 mg/dL, despite dose maximization. Glycemic control improved in these patients once they were switched to the basal-bolus regimen. Two patients in each group had hypoglycemia (defined as BG <60 mg/dL). No cases of severe hypoglycemia (defined as BG <40 mg/dL) were reported. Umpierrez GE, Smiley D, Zisman A, et al.

In the DEAN (Detemir plus Aspart vs NPH Plus Regular in Medical Patients with T2DM) trial, investigators randomized 130 nonsurgical patients with a blood glucose (BG) between 140 and 400 mg/dL to receive detemir once daily and aspart before meals (n=67) or neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) and regular insulin twice daily (n=63). Patients treated with detemir/aspart received half of the total daily dose (TDD) as detemir and half as aspart insulin. Detemir was given once daily at the same time of the day. Aspart was given in 3 equally divided doses with each meal. To prevent hypoglycemia, if a patient was not able to eat a given meal, the dose of aspart was held. Insulin dosage was adjusted daily according to BG values. Patients treated with NPH/regular insulin received two thirds of TDD before breakfast and one third before dinner. The insulin dose was given as two thirds NPH and one third regular insulin in the morning with breakfast, and two thirds NPH and one third regular insulin in the evening with dinner. The slide shows the changes in mean daily BG concentration. The BG target of less than 140 mg/dL before meals was achieved in 45% of the detemir/aspart group and in 48% of the NPH/regular group ( P =NS). Umpierrez GE, Hor T, Smiley D, et al.

Patient self-management of diabetes in the hospital should be facilitated when appropriate. Staff understanding of new treatment modalities and the actions of new antihyperglycemic agents should be ensured through in-service training. Orally administered antihyperglycemic agents should be prescribed with caution and with observance of changing organ function, potential drug interactions, and contraindications that might arise in the hospital. Caregivers, fearing hypoglycemia, may hope to prevent hypoglycemic episodes by substituting sliding-scale management for anticipatory insulin therapy. This strategy is ineffective or even harmful if used alone. The preferred approach is to use measures for prevention of hypoglycemia that do not promote hyperglycemia.
