“…When diabetes was present and admission glucose was Ն180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l), risk of death was moderately increased (1.7, 1.2-2.4) compared with patients who had diabetes but no hyperglycemia on admission. Bolk et al (193) analyzed admission blood glucose values in 336 prospective, consecutive patients with AMI with average follow-up to 14.2 months. Twelve percent of this cohort had previously diagnosed diabetes.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]19 Admission hyperglycaemia is an even stronger predictor for mortality in patients without a medical history of diabetes. 9,13,19 However, there is little information about differences in outcome between men and women with hyperglycaemia on admission for ACS/AMI.…”

“…Although a tight control of blood glucose has been considered to decrease mortality in critically ill ICU patients, this approach brings the risk of severe hypoglycemia which may also be life-threatening for some patients. The studies that have been performed on coronary ICU patients, among the cases with acute myocardial infarction, have demonstrated that intensive insulin treatment aiming tight glucose control is capable of increasing mortality (21)(22)(23)(24). The NICE-SUGAR study, which has compared the effects of tight glycemic control (PG = 81-108 mg/dL) with conventional control (PG < 180mg/dL), among the critically ill patients, has clearly shown that tight control leads to higher life-threatening hypoglycemia and mortality rates.…”
