Abstract
Diabetes and hyperglycemic events in cardiac surgical patients are associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. The causes of dysglycemia, the abnormal fluctuations in blood glucose concentrations, in the perioperative period include surgical stress, surgical techniques, medications administered perioperatively, and patient factors. Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia lead to poor outcomes after cardiac surgery. While trying to control blood glucose concentration tightly for better postoperative outcomes, hypoglycemia is the main adverse event. Currently, there is no definite consensus on the optimum perioperative blood glucose concentration to be maintained in cardiac surgical patients. This review provides an overview of perioperative glucose homeostasis, the pathophysiology of dysglycemia, factors that affect glycemic control in cardiac surgery, and current practices for glycemic control in cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with poor cardiovascular surgical outcomes due to microvascular and macrovascular complications. This is a major concern as over one third of cardiovascular surgical patients have diabetes mellitus which greatly increases their risk of experiencing adverse cardiovascular events. A literature review was performed to identify articles discussing the effects of anti-diabetic medications (ADMs) on cardiovascular outcomes and surgical mortality and morbidity rates. Optimizing perioperative glucose levels remains a key factor in producing good surgical outcomes. In addition, recognizing gender differences, increasing patient satisfaction, and implementing dedicated diabetic teams all improve surgical mortality and morbidity rates in the diabetic population.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of a tailored blood glucose control protocol for postoperative cardiac surgery patients treated in intensive care. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Data for the control group (non-tailored protocol) were collected from medical records at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea between April-July 2015. Data for the experimental group (tailored protocol) were obtained from medical records between April-July 2016. After adjusting the target blood glucose range, eliminating single-dose insulin administration and extending the blood glucose measurement time interval, data for blood glucose measurements, time for reaching and maintaining target blood glucose, mean number of daily blood glucose measurements and insulin dose adjustments for the experimental group were collected. RESULTS In the experimental group (where the target blood glucose rate was increased) the hypoglycaemia rate and the variation in blood glucose decreased significantly compared with the control group. In particular, the experimental group maintained relatively stable blood glucose levels by retaining a small variation range in glucose, regardless of the presence of diabetes. Time required for maintaining target blood glucose, mean number of daily blood glucose measurements and insulin dose adjustments per patient decreased. CONCLUSION The tailored protocol contributes to the safe and effective control of blood glucose in critical care patients after cardiac surgery and to the efficiency of nurses administering it. IMPACT This study has two significant impacts. The application of the tailored protocol has a positive impact on patients' blood glucose management, a critical component of treatment for postoperative cardiac patients in intensive care units. It also has a positive impact on the efficiency of nurses applying it. The results of this study are thus expected to facilitate successful implementation of clinical protocols for critical care after heart surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of computerised insulin dosing calculators for the management of continuous insulin infusions in adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery. METHOD A systematic review was conducted. The CINAHL, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched for primary studies that compared a computerised insulin dosing calculator to a paper protocol. The main outcome measures were mean Blood Glucose Level (BGL), time to achieve BGL target range, time spent within BGL target range, the incidence of hyperglycaemia and the incidence of hypoglycaemia. RESULTS Five studies were included in the final review. Pooled data demonstrated significant improvements in mean BGL (MD -14.24, 95% CI -26.93 to -1.55), p=0.03 and significantly lower rates of hypoglycaemia (OR 0.038, 95% CI: 0.16-0.90), p=0.03 amongst the computer calculator groups in comparison to the paper protocol groups. No significant difference in the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia was demonstrated (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.02-1.79), p=0.15. No difference was found in time (hours) to reach target blood glucose range (MD -1.47, 95% CI -3.75 to 0.81), p=0.21. CONCLUSION There is some evidence to support the use of computerised insulin dosing calculators for insulin infusion management within critical care environments.
