Abstract
Diabetes management for inpatients is difficult for many hospitals and education experts. Hospital medical staff tends to rely only on a “sliding scale” of insulin to address high glucose level and often overlook hyperglycemia. In order to support hospitalized people with diabetes and hyperglycemia, diabetes management and education experts must be employed. In addition, there are movements calling for development of an inpatient blood sugar management department. Diabetes education should target not only education of patients, family, and caregivers regarding care of inpatients, but also multidisciplinary team training and diabetes-related organizational quality indicators and results.
