OBJECTIVE - We Studied a systematic program to reeducate our medical house officers on how to manage inpatient hyperglycemia without the use of sliding-scale insulin (SSI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Patients admitted to the general medical service with diabetes or a blood glucose > 140 mg/dl were included. HbA(1c) was measured in all patients, and therapy was modifted if the HbA(1c) was > 7.0 %. For each 24 h on call, two house officers were responsible for all glucose management for their team's patients and rounded with a teaching endocrinologist twice daily for 2 weeks. Oral agent or insulin therapy was modified using blood glucoses and HbA(1c). All patients who required insulin therapy were treated with basal and bolus insulin, usually NPH and regular, adjusted twice daily. RESULTS- During 8 weeks, 88 patients were identified and 16 house officers were instructed. The mean duration of diabetes was 10.4 years. Mean HbA(1c) level was 8.7 %, and 48 % of patients had HbA(1c) > 8 %. All patients with HbA(1c) > 7 % had diabetes therapy intensified. Overall 80 % had their diabetes therapy changed by discharge. Compared With 98 historical control subjects, significantly fewer study patients had episodes of hyperglycemia, and a subgroup followed for 12 months showed a decrease in HbA(1c) from 10.1. to 8 %. CONCLUSIONS - Medical history, blood glucose, and HbA(1c) testing can effectively identify patients with inpatient hyperglycemia. Using direct ward-based teaching and a widely disseminated pocket Set of guidelines, house officers can be taught to effectively and safely manage inpatient hyperglycemia without the use of SSI.
