Episode 37: Inpatient Diabetes Management

<p>Dr. Nadine Palermo, an endocrinologist and the Associate Director of the Acute&nbsp;Diabetes Care program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, talks with Joyce Zhou (host) and Jakub Glowala (case presenter) to discuss the management of&nbsp;inpatient diabetes patients. Dr. Palermo begins by discussing the way to think about hyperglycemic&nbsp;patients in the hospital, how we can arrive at new diagnoses of diabetes, in addition to why treating&nbsp;inpatient dysglycemia matters. Dr. Palermo provides us with a brief detour on non-insulin agents, their associated side effects, and their potential use in particular hospitalized patients in the future. We are then taught about using a weight-based approach to hyperglycemic management, taking into consideration other comorbidities and feeding requirements, as well given an understanding of the various insulin agents (rapid-, intermediate-, and long-acting), in order to establish an individualized plan for the inpatient hyperglycemic patient.</p> <p><a href="https://www.runthelistpodcast.com/endocrinology/#T2DM-inpatient">https://www.runthelistpodcast.com/endocrinology/#T2DM-inpatient</a></p>
