Studies in cardiac surgical patients have shown an association of hyperglycemia with increased incidences of sepsis, mediastinitis, prolonged mechanical ventilation, cardiac arrhythmias and longer intensive care and hospital stay. There is considerable controversy regarding appropriate glycemic management in these patients and in the definition of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia or the blood sugar levels at which therapy should be initiated. There is also dilemma regarding the usage of "tight glycemic control" with studies showing conflicting evidences. Part of the controversy can be explained by the differing designs of these studies and the variable definitions of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

Synergistic effect of canine FGF-21 combined with insulin in the treatment of canine diabetes.

Previous studies have shown that FGF-21 can ameliorate hyperglycemia and improve the level of oxidative stress in vivo in diabetic mice. The hypoglycemic effect is safe and lasting, but it takes a longer time to exert its effect. Insulin treatment of canine diabetes takes effect quickly; however, its action time is short, and it is prone to cause hypoglycemia.

School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

Xiangya School of Nursing, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Background: Dysglycaemia metrics, defined as hyperglycaemia, increased glucose variability, hypoglycaemia and reduced time in the targeted blood glucose range (TIR), are linked to higher mortality. The relationship between dysglycaemia metrics and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality over time for patients with and without diabetes remains inconclusive, posing challenges for ICU medical staff in accurately identifying and distinguishing various risk factors and taking timely and appropriate responses.
Aim: To explore which dysglycaemia metrics within the first 7 days of ICU stay are associated with ICU mortality among patients with and without diabetes.
Glycemic Management of Patients with Hospital Hyperglycemia: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Adults Admitted in the Non-ICU Wards.
Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Ningbo No.2 hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To identify the key populations for Hospital Hyperglycemia (HH) management and to assess recent trends in the management of HH.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 1,136,092 point-of-care blood glucose (POC-BG) measurements from 40,758 patients with HH in non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) wards at Ningbo No.2 hospital from January 2020 to December 2022.
Association of Glycemic Variability with Outcomes in Non-diabetic Sepsis Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.
Indian J Crit Care Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India.
Background: Glycemic variability (GV) is the third domain of sepsis-induced dysglycemia, after hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, potentially leading to adverse outcomes. This study analyzed the association of GV with in-hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) in non-diabetic sepsis patients.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective observational study, non-diabetic sepsis patients were followed till day 14 of hospital stay, and blood glucose levels were assessed by finger-prick method (seven times per day) daily; clinico-laboratory and GV parameters [standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE)] were assessed on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 of admission.
