Definition: Median inpatient glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Glucose readings below 40mg/dL and above 400mg/dL were excluded. Data Source: Clarity database, FORCE database.
Analysis: The median inpatient glucose value, which was previously stable with a median of 157mg/dL, has decreased, and continues to decrease, with the implementation of inpatient insulin protocols.
