What you'll learn

Diabetes is a prevalent metabolic disease and is presently affecting about 400 million people in the world. The main goal of hospitalized diabetic patients is to balance the metabolic state, prevent adverse glycemic events, and revert the patient into a normal glycemic state without any complications. This can ensure a smooth transition of patients from critical care i.e., inpatient healthcare setups to outpatient setups.

Patients with diabetes are more prone to hospitalization than patients without diabetes and account for 30% of diabetic patients. The risk of infections is more with diabetic patients due to a decrease in their immune levels and collagen metabolism. There is no such ideal protocol for the management of hyperglycemia in critically ill patients. But injectable hormone is the best way to control hyperglycemia in patients who are critically ill and are inpatient. This therapy involves intravenous hormone administration to achieve the recommended glycemic target due to its short half-life. This can in turn help in decreasing the rate of infection and aid in wound healing further helping in early discharge. Diet management is also an integral part of the management of inpatient as well as outpatient diabetic patients. All factors together help in controlling the hyperglycemic state of a diabetic patient.

As the epidemic of diabetes continues to be and will increase the rate of inpatients globally, it is essential for health care professionals to have a thorough knowledge and strategy to effectively manage diabetic patients. This course is about injectable hormone therapy and glucose management gives an insight into how to manage a hospitalized diabetic patient, the role of the hormone in managing diabetes in patients, recommended guidelines for hormonal therapy, basic glucose metabolism, risks of hyperglycemia and its management, etc.
