Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic metabolic disorders worldwide, which increases the risk of common and opportunistic infections. Following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a higher incidence rate, more severe forms of the disease, and exacerbation of hyperglycemia and its complications have been observed in patients with DM. Moreover, stress-induced hyperglycemia has been observed in many hospitalized nondiabetic patients after contracting COVID-19. Hyperglycemia worsens prognosis in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. In this study, the mechanism of new-onset or exacerbation of hyperglycemia, the effect of the treatments used for COVID-19 on hyperglycemia, the importance and appropriate method of blood glucose (blood sugar (BS)) control during the disease, and the possible fate of new-onset hyperglycemia after recovery from COVID-19 to some extent is expressed.

Abstract
Objective This study assesses whether stress-induced hyperglycemia is a predictor of poor outcome at 3 months for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) and impacted by their previous blood glucose status. Methods This retrospective study collected data from 576 patients with AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated by EVT from March 2019 to June 2022. The sample was composed of 230 and 346 patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM), respectively, based on their premorbid diabetic status. Prognosis was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3-month after AIS. Poor prognosis was defined as mRS>2. Stress-induced hyperglycemia was assessed by fasting glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio (GAR). Each group was stratified into four groups by quartiles of GAR (Q1-Q4). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify relationship between different GAR quartiles and clinical outcome after EVT. Results In DM group, a poor prognosis was seen in 122 (53%) patients and GAR level was 1.27 ± 0.44. These variables were higher than non-DM group and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05, respectively). Patients with severe stress-induced hyperglycemia demonstrated greater incidence of 3-month poor prognosis (DM: Q1, 39.7%; Q2, 45.6%; Q3, 58.6%; Q4, 68.4%; p = 0.009. Non-DM: Q1, 31%; Q2, 32.6%; Q3, 42.5%; Q4, 64%; p < 0.001). However, the highest quartile of GAR was independently associated with poor prognosis at 3 months (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.66-6.96, p = 0.001), compared to the lowest quartile in non-DM patients after logistic regression. This association was not observed from DM patients. Conclusion The outcome of patients with acute LVO stroke treated with EVT appears to be influenced by premorbid diabetes status. However, the poor prognosis at 3-month in patients with DM is not independently correlated with stress-induced hyperglycemia. This could be due to the long-term damage of persistent hyperglycemia and diabetic patients' adaptive response to stress following acute ischemic damage to the brain.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the stress-induced hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is independently associated with in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients in nonresuscitation ICUs. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, clinical- and laboratory-related data from patients first admitted to nonresuscitation ICUs were extracted from an open-access database of >50,000 ICU admissions. Patients were assigned to one of two groups according to an SHR threshold of 1.1. The primary end point of this study was the in-hospital mortality rate. The associations between SHR and length of stay in the ICU and hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation use, and vasopressor use were secondary end points. Logistic regression models were established in the analysis of in-hospital mortality risk, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were analyzed to investigate the association between the primary end point and SHR used alone or together with the Simplified Acute Physiology Scale (SAPS) II score. The Youden index, specificity, and sensitivity of SHR and SAPS-II were also assessed. FINDINGS In this study, 1859 patients were included, 187 of whom (10.06%) died during hospitalization. The group with an SHR of ≥1.1 had a greater in-hospital mortality rate (13.7% vs 7.4%; P < 0.001), longer length of stay both in the ICU and in the hospital, a longer duration of mechanical ventilation use, and a greater rate of vasopressor use. On adjustment for multivariate risk, a 0.1-point increment in SHR was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.00-1.16; P = 0.036). The AUC of the association between risk and the SAPS-II score was significantly greater than that with SHR (0.797 [95% CI, 0.576-0.664] vs 0.620 [95% CI, 0.764-0.830]; P < 0.001). The AUC with SAPS-II + SHR was significantly greater than that with SAPS-II used alone (0.802 [95% CI, 0.770-0.835] vs 0.797 [95% CI, 0.764-0.830]; P = 0.023). The Youden index, specificity, and sensitivity of SAPS-II + SHR were 0.473, 0.703, and 0.770, respectively. IMPLICATIONS Stress-induced hyperglycemia, as evaluated using the SHR, was associated with increased in-hospital mortality and worse clinical outcomes in these critically ill patients in nonresuscitation ICUs. SHR was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality, and when used together with the SAPS-II, added to the capacity to predict mortality in these patients in nonresuscitation ICUs. Prospective data are needed to validate the capacity of SHR in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients in the nonresuscitation ICU.

Abstract
Background: Hyperglycemia at the time of hospital admission is associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using data from the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD), this study aimed to compare mortality outcomes between patients with stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH), diabetic hyperglycemia (DH), and nondiabetic normoglycemia (NDN). The study occurred at Keelung, Linkou, Chiayi, and Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals (CGMHs). Methods: A total of 1166, 6318, 3622, and 5599 health records from Keelung, Linkou, Chiayi, and Kaohsiung CGMHs, respectively, were retrieved from the CGRD for hospitalized patients with TBI between January 2001 and December 2015. After propensity score matching for sex, age, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, the matched cohorts were compared to evaluate differences in the primary outcome between patients with SIH, DH, and NDN. In-hospital mortality was the primary outcome. Results: The analysis of matched patient populations revealed that at the Kaohsiung CGMH, patients with SIH had 1.63-fold (95% CI: 1.09–2.44; p = 0.017) and 1.91-fold (95% CI: 1.12–3.23; p = 0.017) higher odds of mortality than patients with NDN and DH, respectively. Similar patterns were found at the Linkou CGMH; patients with SIH had higher odds of mortality than patients with NDN and DH. In contrast, at the Keelung CGMH, patients with SIH had significantly higher odds of mortality than those with NDN (OR: 3.25; 95% CI: 1.06–9.97; p = 0.039). At the Chiayi CGMH, there were no significant differences in mortality rates among all groups. Conclusions: This study’s results suggest that SIH and DH differ in their effect on the outcomes of patients with TBI. The results were similar between medical centers but not nonmedical centers; in the medical centers, patients with SIH had significantly higher odds of mortality than patients with either NDN or DH.

Abstract
Background: Hyperglycemia at admission is associated with an increase in worse outcomes in trauma patients. However, admission hyperglycemia is not only due to diabetic hyperglycemia (DH), but also stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH). This study was designed to evaluate the mortality rates between adult moderate-to-severe thoracoabdominal injury patients with admission hyperglycemia as DH or SIH and in patients with nondiabetic normoglycemia (NDN) at a level 1 trauma center. Methods: Patients with a glucose level ≥200 mg/dL upon arrival at the hospital emergency department were diagnosed with admission hyperglycemia. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was diagnosed when patients had an admission glycohemoglobin A1c ≥6.5% or had a past history of DM. Admission hyperglycemia related to DH and SIH was diagnosed in patients with and without DM. Patients who had a thoracoabdominal Abbreviated Injury Scale score <3, a polytrauma, a burn injury and were below 20 years of age were excluded. A total of 52 patients with SIH, 79 patients with DH, and 621 patients with NDN were included from the registered trauma database between 1 January 2009, and 31 December 2018. To reduce the confounding effects of sex, age, comorbidities, and injury severity of patients in assessing the mortality rate, different 1:1 propensity score-matched patient populations were established to assess the impact of admission hyperglycemia (SIH or DH) vs. NDN, as well as SIH vs. DH, on the outcomes. Results: DH was significantly more frequent in older patients (61.4 ± 13.7 vs. 49.8 ± 17.2 years, p < 0.001) and in patients with higher incidences of preexisting hypertension (2.5% vs. 0.3%, p < 0.001) and congestive heart failure (3.8% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.014) than NDN. On the contrary, SIH had a higher injury severity score (median [Q1–Q3], 20 [15–22] vs. 13 [10–18], p < 0.001) than DH. In matched patient populations, patients with either SIH or DH had a significantly higher mortality rate than NDN patients (10.6% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.022, and 5.3% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.043, respectively). However, the mortality rate was insignificantly different between SIH and DH (11.4% vs. 8.6%, odds ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 0.29–6.66; p = 0.690). Conclusion: This study revealed that admission hyperglycemia in the patients with thoracoabdominal injuries had a higher mortality rate than NDN patients with or without adjusting the differences in patient’s age, sex, comorbidities, and injury severity.

Abstract
Background: This study was designed to measure the effect of stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) and diabetic hyperglycemia (DH) versus non-diabetic normoglycemia (NDN) on the outcomes of trauma patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: Diabetes mellitus (DM) was determined based on patient history and/or a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of ≥6.5% at admission. The patients who had serum glucose levels of ≥200 mg/dL in the absence or presence of DM were assigned into the groups SIH and DH, respectively. Diabetic normoglycemia (DN) and NDN were determined based on serum glucose levels of <200 mg/dL in patients with and without DM, respectively. Patients with burn injury or incomplete data were excluded. Detailed data of trauma patients in the ICU of a Level-I trauma center from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2016 were retrieved from the database of the Trauma Registry System. These patients were classified into four exclusive groups, including NDN (n = 1745), DN (n = 306), SIH (n = 225) and DH (n = 206). The Pearson chi-square test was used to compare categorical data between groups. Continuous variables were compared using one-way analysis of variance along with the Games–Howell post hoc test. To decrease the confounding effect of the differences in sex and age, preexisting comorbidities and injury severity score (ISS) among different groups of patients, 1:1 ratio propensity score-matched cohorts were assigned using the NCSS software. The effect of hyperglycemia on the outcomes of patients with and without DM was assessed with a logistic regression analysis. Results: Among those selected propensity score-matched patient cohorts, the patients with SIH and DH had a 3.88-fold (95% CI, 2.13–7.06; p < 0.001) and 1.83-fold (95% CI, 1.00–3.34; p = 0.048) higher mortality, respectively, than those with NDN. Moreover, the patients in the SIH group (10.0 vs. 7.4 days; p = 0.005) and those in the DH group (10.1 vs. 7.4 days; p = 0.006) who were admitted to the ICU had a significantly longer length of stay than those in the NDN group. In addition, the SIH group had a 2.13-fold (95% CI, 1.04–4.36; p = 0.038) higher adjusted odds ratio for mortality than the DH group. Conclusions: This study revealed significantly worse outcomes in terms of mortality among patients with SIH and DH who were admitted to the ICU after controlling for sex and age, preexisting comorbidities and ISS. In addition, patients who had SIH presented significantly higher adjusted odds for mortality than those DH patients. These results suggest that hyperglycemia is detrimental in patients with or without DM who were admitted to the ICU, and there is a different pathophysiological mechanisms behind the SIH and DH.

Abstract
Background: Admission hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in trauma patients. However, admission hyperglycemia is not only associated with stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) but also with diabetic hyperglycemia (DH); furthermore, patients with normoglycemia may not only have non-diabetic normoglycemia (NDN) but also have a possibility of diabetic normoglycemia (DN), with the diabetes under control. This study aimed to assess the effects of SIH and DH on the mortality outcomes of traumatic femoral fracture patients with NDN and DN. Methods: Admission hyperglycemia was diagnosed as a serum glucose ≥200 mg/dL upon arrival at the emergency department. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was determined by patient history and/or admission HbA1c ≥ 6.5%. DH and SIH were diagnosed by admission hyperglycemia in patients with and without DM. DN and NDN were determined by absence of admission hyperglycemia in patients with and without DM. These patients were allocated into four groups: SIH (n = 75), DH (n = 280), DN (n = 309), and NDN (n = 1326), with detailed information retracted from the Trauma Registry System at a level I trauma center between 1 January 2009, and 31 December 2016. Patients with incomplete registered data were excluded. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mortality were estimated through a stepwise model selection of a multiple regression model that was adjusted by controlling the cofounding variables such age, sex, co-morbidities, and Injury Severity Score. Results: Compared to NDN, a 9.8-fold (95% CI 1.54–62.05; p = 0.016) and a 5.8-fold (95% CI 1.46–22.67; p = 0.012) increase in the adjusted mortality odds ratio of patients with SIH and DH, respectively, were found in this study. In addition, the adjusted odds of mortality between SIH (AOR = 0.3; 95% CI 0.03–2.99; p = 0.302) as well as DH patients (AOR = 0.6; 95% CI 0.20–1.89; p = 0.394) and DN patients had no significant difference. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that SIH and DH patients with traumatic femoral fractures had higher mortality when compared with NDN patients, but not when compared with DN patients, with or without adjustment of the differences in patient’s age, sex, co-morbidities, and injury severity.

Abstract
This study was conducted to document temporal patterns of blood glucose level changes during the first 10-day critical period and to identify factors that influence stress-induced hyperglycemia development in brain injury patients. The medical records of 190 brain injury patients were retrospectively reviewed. Blood glucose levels in the poor recovery group were significantly higher than in the good recovery group, particularly during the first 72 hr (158-172 mg/dl). The poor recovery group showed persistent, fluctuating hyperglycemia, whereas the good recovery group exhibited hyperglycemic peaks during the first 3 days that subsequently reduced linearly to normal. Gender, preexisting hypertension, disease severity at admission, total calorie intake, and steroid use were found to influence stress-induced hyperglycemia development significantly. In conclusion, close monitoring and adjustment are required to maintain safe blood glucose levels and the development of protocols for safe glycemic management is essential to improve critical care in brain injury patients.

Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of diabetic hyperglycemia (DH) does not preclude a diabetes patient from having a stress-induced hyperglycemic response. This study aimed to define the optimal level of elevated glucose concentration for determining the occurrence of stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) in patients with diabetes. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of all hospitalized trauma patients, in a Level I trauma center, from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2016. Only adult patients aged ≥20 years, with available data on serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels upon admission, were included in the study. Long-term average glucose levels, as A1c-derived average glucose (ADAG), using the equation, ADAG = ((28.7 × HbA1c) − 46.7), were calculated. Patients with high glucose levels were divided into three SIH groups with diabetes mellitus (DM), based on the following definitions: (1) same glycemic gap from ADAG; (2) same percentage of elevated glucose of ADAG, from which percentage could also be reflected by the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), calculated as the admission glucose level divided by ADAG; or (3) same percentage of elevated glucose as patients with a defined SIH level, in trauma patients with and without diabetes. Patients with incomplete registered data were excluded. The primary hypothesis of this study was that SIH in patients with diabetes would present worse mortality outcomes than in those without. Detailed data of SIH in patients with diabetes were retrieved from the Trauma Registry System. Results: Among the 546 patients with DH, 332 (32.0%), 188 (18.1%), and 106 (10.2%) were assigned as diabetes patients with SIH, based on defined glucose levels, set at 250 mg/dL, 300 mg/dL, and 350 mg/dL, respectively. In patients with defined cut-off glucose levels of 250 mg/dL and 300 mg/dL, SIH was associated with a 3.5-fold (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.61–7.46; p = 0.001) and 3-fold (95% CI 1.11–8.03; p = 0.030) higher odds of mortality, adjusted by sex, age, pre-existing comorbidities, and injury severity score, than the 491 patients with diabetic normoglycemia (DN). However, in patients with a defined cut-off glucose level of 350 mg/dL, adjusted mortality in SIH in DM was insignificantly different than that in DM. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, a blood sugar of 233 mg/dL, a glycemic gap of 79 (i.e., blood sugar of 251 mg/dL), and a SHR of 1.45 (i.e., blood sugar of 250 mg/dL) were identified as cut-offs for mortality outcomes, with AUCs of 0.622, 0.653, and 0.658, respectively. Conclusions: In this study, a cut-off glucose level of 250 mg/dL was selected to provide a better definition of SIH in DM than glucose levels of 300 mg/dL or 350 mg/dL.

Abstract
Background: Stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) is a form of hyperglycemia secondary to stress and commonly occurs in patients with trauma. Trauma patients with SIH have been reported to have an increased risk of mortality. However, information regarding whether these trauma patients with SIH represent a distinct group with differential outcomes when compared to those with diabetic hyperglycemia (DH) remains limited. Methods: Diabetes mellitus (DM) was determined by patient history and/or admission glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥6.5%. Non-diabetic normoglycemia (NDN) was determined by a serum glucose level <200 mg/dL in the patients without DM. Diabetic normoglycemia (DN) was determined by a serum glucose level <200 mg/dL in the patients with DM. DH and SIH was diagnosed by a serum glucose level ≥200 mg/dL in the patients with and without DM, respectively. Detailed data of these four groups of hospitalized patients, which included NDN (n = 7806), DN (n = 950), SIH (n = 493), and DH (n = 897), were retrieved from the Trauma Registry System at a level I trauma center between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2015. Patients with incomplete registered data were excluded. Categorical data were compared with Pearson chi-square tests or two-sided Fisher exact tests. The unpaired Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test were used to analyze normally distributed continuous data and non-normally distributed data, respectively. Propensity-score-matched cohorts in a 1:1 ratio were allocated using NCSS software with logistic regression to evaluate the effect of SIH and DH on the outcomes of patients. Results: The SIH (median [interquartile range: Q1-Q3], 13 [9-24]) demonstrated a significantly higher Injury Severity Score (ISS) than NDN (9 [4-10]), DN (9 [4-9]), and DH (9 [5-13]). SIH and DH had a 12.3-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.31-16.14; p < 0.001) and 2.4-fold (95% CI 1.71-3.45; p < 0.001) higher odds of mortality, respectively, when compared to NDN. However, in the selected propensity-score-matched patient population, SIH had a 3.0-fold higher odd ratio of mortality (95% CI 1.96-4.49; p < 0.001) than NDN, but DH did not have a significantly higher mortality (odds ratio 1.2, 95% CI 0.99-1.38; p = 0.065). In addition, SIH had 2.4-fold higher odds of mortality (95% CI 1.46-4.04; p = 0.001) than DH. These results suggest that the characteristics and injury severity of the trauma patients contributed to the higher mortality of these patients with hyperglycemia upon admission, and that the pathophysiological effect of SIH was different from that of DH. Conclusions: Although there were worse mortality outcomes among trauma patients presenting with hyperglycemia, this effect was only seen in patients with SIH, but not DH when controlling for age, sex, pre-existed co-morbidities, and ISS.

Abstract
Stress-induced hyperglycemia is a fundamental adaptive response that mobilizes energy stores in response to threats. Here, our examination of the contributions of the central catecholaminergic (CA) neuronal system to this adaptive response revealed that CA neurons in the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) control stress-induced hyperglycemia. Ablation of VLM CA neurons abolished the hyperglycemic response to both physical and psychological stress, whereas chemogenetic activation of these neurons was sufficient to induce hyperglycemia. We further found that CA neurons in the rostral VLM, but not those in the caudal VLM, cause hyperglycemia via descending projections to the spinal cord. Monosynaptic tracing experiments showed that VLM CA neurons receive direct inputs from multiple stress-responsive brain areas. Optogenetic studies identified an excitatory PVN-VLM circuit that induces hyperglycemia. This study establishes the central role of VLM CA neurons in stress-induced hyperglycemia and substantially expands our understanding of the central mechanism that controls glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Background Only a few information is available on the risk of stress hyperglycemia following acute myocardial infarction after statin use. We investigate the association of stress-induced hyperglycemia following statin use in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods An observational analysis of 476 consecutive patients who suffered acute myocardial infarction was carried out. All selected patients were divided into diabetes mellitus and non-diabetes based on the presence or absence of diabetes. The cardiac incidence of in-hospital and stress-induced hyperglycemia was recorded. Results Among patients with stress hyperglycemia in non-diabetes mellitus subgroups, the average fasting plasma glucose values in statin users were higher than in non-statin users (P < 0.05). But in diabetes mellitus subgroups, the average fasting plasma glucose did not have a significant difference between statin users and non-statin users (P > 0.05). In non-diabetes mellitus patients, the incidence of stress hyperglycemia with statin therapy was significantly higher than with non-statin therapy (P = 0.003). But in diabetes mellitus patients group, there is no significant difference in incidence of stress hyperglycemia between patients with statin therapy and patients without statin therapy (P = 0.902).The incidence of heart failure and in-hospital mortality of acute myocardial infarction in patients with stress-induced hyperglycemia was significantly higher than in non-hyperglycemia patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion Statins are related to higher stress hyperglycemia and cardiac incidences after acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases tuberculosis risk while tuberculosis, as an infectious disease, leads to hyperglycemia. We compared hyperglycemia screening strategies in controls and patients with tuberculosis in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. METHODS Consecutive adults with tuberculosis and sex- and age-matched volunteers were included in a case-control study between July 2012 and June 2014. All underwent DM screening tests (fasting capillary glucose [FCG] level, 2-hour CG [2-hCG] level, and glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] level) at enrollment, and cases were tested again after receipt of tuberculosis treatment. Association of tuberculosis and its outcome with hyperglycemia was assessed using logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, human immunodeficiency virus infection status, and socioeconomic status. Patients with tuberculosis and newly diagnosed DM were not treated for hyperglycemia. RESULTS At enrollment, DM prevalence was significantly higher among patients with tuberculosis (n = 539; FCG level > 7 mmol/L, 4.5% of patients, 2-hCG level > 11 mmol/L, 6.8%; and HbA1c level > 6.5%, 9.3%), compared with controls (n = 496; 1.2%, 3.1%, and 2.2%, respectively). The association between hyperglycemia and tuberculosis disappeared after tuberculosis treatment (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] for the FCG level: 9.6 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 3.7-24.7] at enrollment vs 2.4 [95% CI, .7-8.7] at follow-up; aOR for the 2-hCG level: 6.6 [95% CI, 4.0-11.1] vs 1.6 [95% CI, .8-2.9]; and aOR for the HbA1c level, 4.2 [95% CI, 2.9-6.0] vs 1.4 [95% CI, .9-2.0]). Hyperglycemia, based on the FCG level, at enrollment was associated with tuberculosis treatment failure or death (aOR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.2-9.3). CONCLUSIONS Transient hyperglycemia is frequent during tuberculosis, and DM needs confirmation after tuberculosis treatment. Performance of DM screening at tuberculosis diagnosis gives the opportunity to detect patients at risk of adverse outcome.

Abstract
Patients with dysglycemia related to known or unrecognized diabetes, stress hyperglycemia, or hypoglycemia in the presence or absence of exogenous insulin routinely require care during the perioperative period or critical illness. Recent single and multicenter studies, a large multinational study, and three meta-analyses evaluated the safety of routine tight glycemic control (80-110 mg/dl) in critically ill adults. Results led to a call for more modest treatment goals (initiation of insulin at a blood glucose >180 mg/dl with a goal of approximately 150 mg/dl). In this symposium, an international group of multidisciplinary experts discusses the role of tight glycemic control, glucose measurement technique and its accuracy, glucose variability, hypoglycemia, and innovative methods to facilitate glucose homeostasis in this heterogeneous patient population.
