CME Article: Reducing Infection Rates with Enhanced Preoperative Diabetes Mellitus Diagnosis and Optimization Processes

Objectives: Hyperglycemia and increased preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are associated with perioperative morbidity and death. For nonurgent operations, adequate glycemic control before surgery is recommended. Our surgical practice needed a process for preoperative diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnosis and glycemic optimization. Methods: Our review of the existing preoperative evaluation process found…

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Managing Hemoglobin A1c and Beyond

Comprehensive glycemic control, as demonstrated by desirable glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), postprandial glucose (PPG), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, is imperative for managing patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is important to minimize fluctuations in blood glucose levels, as they are thought to contribute to both the…

Importance of Postprandial Glucose Levels as a Target for Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract:Increasing evidence supports the importance of postprandial glucose (PPG) in glycemic control with regard to the development of complications in patients with diabetes. PPG plays a critical role in determining overall glycemic control, particularly in patients who are close to their glycemic goals. Data also indicate that postprandial hyperglycemia may…

Addressing Cultural Barriers to the Successful Use of Insulin in Hispanics with Type 2 Diabetes

Hispanics experience a higher rate of diabetes than non-Hispanic whites and tend to have worse glycemic control and a greater risk of diabetes-related complications. Once oral antidiabetic agents become insufficient, insulin plays an important role in achieving glycemic goals. However, many Hispanic patients are resistant to initiating insulin therapy or…
