List of Objective

 
At the completion of this meeting, participants will be able to:
 
1.  Understand how to apply the most recent clinical practice guidelines about glycemic goals to safely improve inpatient management of hyperglycemia.
 
2.  Identify which of the conditions encountered in hospitalized patients may affect the accuracy of commonly used technologies.
 
3.  Assess the utility of continuous glucose monitors, insulin dose calculators, informatics and other technologies in the critical care and non-critical care units.
 
4.  Recognize the importance of hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients and learn ways to avoid it.
 
5.  Achieve better glycemic control in the perioperative period, during and after dialysis, in the transition from critical care to non-critical care units, and in those patients receiving steroids.
 
6.  Summarize the new technologies that will be available in the next 5 years for management of hyperglycemia.
