Objective: Hypoglycemia can be life-threatening for patients with diabetes. We aimed to 1) evaluate percentage of glucagon prescription in patients with hypoglycemia on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reports, and 2) determine incident glucagon prescription after an educational letter delivered to the providers.
Research Design And Methods: The study had 2 components - retrospective chart review and a quality improvement (QI) component.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that 20% achieved short-term and 15% long-term insulin independence, with higher islet equivalents per kg (IEQ) and lower basal insulin usage linked to better outcomes.
- * The findings suggest that both insulin independence periods correlate with islet transplant metrics and could help clinicians set realistic glycemic expectations for patients after TPIAT.
Diabetes technology is evolving rapidly and is changing the way both patients and clinicians approach the management of diabetes. With more devices gaining US Food and Drug Administration approval and insurance coverage expanding, these new technologies are being widely adopted by people living with diabetes. We provide a summary of the commonly available devices in the market today that clinicians will likely encounter.

This pilot study seeks to determine if Dexcom G6Pro continuous glucose monitor (Dexcom G6Pro CGM) is accurate during the postoperative cardiac surgery period when fluid shifts, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and vasoactive medications are frequently encountered, compared to standard glucose monitoring techniques.
Methods: This study received institutional review board approval.
