Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dysglycemia contributes to morbidity and mortality in acutely ill patients.  Hospital glycemic control has important implications on outcomes. Evolving systems of practice, advancements in technology, treatment alternatives, and the current global pandemic are driving new knowledge. In this special issue of Diabetology, authors will contribute towards scientific evidence in various domains of inpatient diabetes care and glycemic management. Manuscripts will focus on epidemiology, treatment, complications, system processes, care delivery, technology, health informatics, decision-making, quality improvement, practice performance, education, competencies, and Covid 19. Contributions may derive from qualitative and/or quantitative research. Authors will feature their current work and future perspectives related to glycemic care in the hospital through original research, reviews, case reports, conceptual models and perspectives

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are emerging as an important therapy not only for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but also for heart disease and kidney disease. As these medicines gain acceptance, the number of hospitalized patients receiving them is likely to rise. During clinical trials, SGLT2 inhibitors were noted to have a potential risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), particularly DKA with relatively normal blood glucose levels, ‘euglycemic DKA’. Similar to DKA that is not associated with SGLT2 inhibitors, most of these events seem to be related to acute illnesses or other changes in a patient’s medications or self-management circumstances. This creates a need among hospital providers to create strategies to prevent DKA in their hospitalized patient and guidance on monitoring and treating euglycemic DKA. Our combined experience concerning this phenomenon has given a great deal of insight into this problem and the knowledge needed to improve patient care, by augmenting patient education, inpatient surveillance, and early treatment for euglycemic DKA.

Objective: Assess in a sample of people with type 1 diabetes mellitus whether mood and stress influence blood glucose levels and variability. Material and Methods: Continuous glucose monitoring was performed on 10 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, where interstitial glucose values were recorded every 15 min. A daily survey was conducted through Google Forms, collecting information on mood and stress. The day was divided into six slots of 4-h each, asking the patient to assess each slot in relation to mood (sad, normal or happy) and stress (calm, normal or nervous). Different measures of glycemic control (arithmetic mean and percentage of time below/above the target range) and variability (standard deviation, percentage coefficient of variation, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions and mean of daily differences) were calculated to relate the mood and stress perceived by patients with blood glucose levels and glycemic variability. A hypothesis test was carried out to quantitatively compare the data groups of the different measures using the Student’s t-test. Results: Statistically significant differences (p-value < 0.05) were found between different levels of stress. In general, average glucose and variability decrease when the patient is calm. There are statistically significant differences (p-value < 0.05) between different levels of mood. Variability increases when the mood changes from sad to happy. However, the patient’s average glucose decreases as the mood improves. Conclusions: Variations in mood and stress significantly influence blood glucose levels, and glycemic variability in the patients analyzed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, they are factors to consider for improving glycemic control. The mean of daily differences does not seem to be a good indicator for variability. Full article
