“…Diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, is a complex and heterogeneous, chronic metabolic disease [ 14 ]. DM is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is a major global health problem [ 15 , 16 ]. DM is divided into four different etiological categories: type 1 DM (T1DM), type 2 DM (T2DM), other specific types, and gestational DM.…”

“…These hormones increase gluconeogenesis, inhibit β-cell insulin release, and decrease glucose uptake which can impact disease severity and overall mortality. [2][3][4] Left untreated, elevated blood glucose levels can lead to detrimental patient outcomes including infection, stroke, venous thromboembolism, increased hospital length of stay and increased mortality. 5 Patients without a known diagnosis of diabetes are at highest risk of these adverse outcomes.…”

“… 7 Hyperglycemia produces the previously mentioned outcomes through altered tissue metabolism, increased oxidative stress, immunosuppression, impaired wound healing and thickening of capillary basement membranes which contributes to hypercoaguability. 2 , 3 The current 2020 American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend that for patients who are hospitalized, blood glucose should be maintained between 140-180 mg/dL. 1 This recommendation is supported by evidence of an increased risk of death seen from hypoglycemia (blood glucose ≤70 mg/dL).…”
