Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycemic control has been increasingly recognized as a critical element in inpatient care, but optimal management of blood glucose in the hospital setting remains challenging. The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate the impact of the implementation of an inpatient multidisciplinary glucose control management program on glucose control in hospitalized patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of medical records and glucose monitoring data obtained by point- of-care testing (POCT) in hospitalized patients before (May 2014) and after (June 2015 and May 2017) the implementation of the program. RESULTS We analyzed 6888, 7290, and 7669 POCTs from 389, 545, and 475 patients in May 2014, June 2015, and May 2017, respectively. Hyperglycemia (≥ 180 mg/ dL) occurred in 23.5%, 19.6%, and 19.3% POCTs in May 2014, June 2015, and May/2017, respectively (p < 0.001), while severe hyperglycemia (≥ 300 mg/dL) was observed in 2.5%, 2.2%, and 1.8% of them, respectively (p = 0.003). Hyperglycemia (≥ 180 mg/dL) reduced significantly from May 2014 to June 2015 (16.3%, p < 0.001) and from May 2014 to May 2017 (178%, p < 0.001). No significant changes occurred in hypoglycemic parameters. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of an inpatient multidisciplinary glucose control management program led to significant reductions in hyperglycemic events. The key elements for this achievement were the development of institutional inpatient glycemic control protocols, establishment of a multidisciplinary team, and continuing educational programs for hospital personnel. Altogether, these actions resulted in improvements in care processes, patient safety, and clinical outcomes of hospitalized patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The comparative efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of rapid and long-acting insulin analogs compared with regular or neutral protamine Hagedorn nonanalog insulins or with oral antidiabetic agents in hospitalized adults were evaluated. METHODS A literature search was conducted to identify studies that compared the effects of rapid-acting, long-acting, or mixed insulin analogs with short- or intermediate-acting insulin or any other oral antidiabetic medication. RESULTS Twenty-three primary studies were included in the review. Rapid-acting analogs and basal-bolus analog regimens were found to reduce the duration of hospital stay by approximately one day compared with regular insulin and basal-bolus nonanalog regimens. One large cohort study found an adjusted 48% relative risk reduction in mortality with rapid-acting analogs versus regular insulin in a heterogeneous hospitalized hyperglycemic population. A randomized controlled trial found a significant reduction in postoperative complications with basal-bolus analogs compared with basal-bolus nonanalog insulin. When compared with regular sliding-scale insulin (SSI), fixed-dose insulin glargine with or without insulin glulisine was found to reduce the blood glucose concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes and reduce postoperative complications in surgical patients with diabetes. The quality of evidence was primarily very low or low for most outcomes. CONCLUSION A systematic literature review revealed a very low or low quality of evidence, suggesting that, compared with nonanalog regimens, rapid-acting insulin analogs reduce the duration of hospital stay and mortality rates and that basal- bolus analog regimens may reduce the duration of hospital stay and postoperative complications. There is also a low quality of evidence to suggest that a fixed-dose analog regimen of insulin glargine with or without insulin glulisine is more effective than regular SSI for reducing blood glucose concentrations and postoperative complications.

Insulin glargine and risk of cancer: a cohort study in the French National Healthcare Insurance Database. Diabetologia 2012; 55:644-53. [PMID: 22222504 PMCID: PMC3268990 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-011-2429-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2011] [Accepted: 12/02/2011] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Using the Echantillon Généraliste de Bénéficiaires: random 1/97 permanent sample of the French national healthcare insurance system database (EGB), we investigated whether, as previously suspected, the risk of cancer in insulin glargine (A21Gly,B31Arg,B32Arg human insulin) users is higher than in human insulin users. The investigation period was from 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2010. METHODS We used Cox proportional hazards time-dependent models that were stratified on propensity score quartiles for use of insulin glargine vs human insulin, and adjusted for insulin, biguanide and sulfonylurea possession rates to assess the risk of cancer or death in all or incident exclusive or predominant (≥ 80% use time) users of insulin glargine compared with equivalent human insulin users. RESULTS Only type 2 diabetic patients were studied. Exposure rates varied from 2,273 and 614 patient-years for incident exclusive users of insulin glargine or human insulin, respectively, to 3125 and 2341 patient-years for all patients predominantly using insulin glargine or human insulin, respectively. All-type cancer HRs with insulin glargine vs human insulin ranged from 0.59 (95% CI 0.28, 1.25) in incident exclusive users to 0.58 (95% CI 0.34, 1.01) in all predominant users. Cancer risk increased with exposure to insulin or sulfonylureas in these patients. Adjusted HRs for death or cancer associated with insulin glargine compared with human insulin ranged from 0.58 (95% CI 0.32, 1.06) to 0.56 (95% CI 0.36, 0.87). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION There was no excess risk of cancer in type 2 diabetic patients on insulin glargine alone compared with those on human insulin alone. The overall risk of death or cancer in patients on insulin glargine was about half that of patients on human insulin, thereby excluding a competitive risk bias.
