Abstract

Management of diabetes in hospitalized patients requires interdisciplinary, coordinated care that includes communication between physicians in the hospital and primary care providers. As the clinical condition of hospitalized patients can change quickly, insulin dosing must be altered in a timely manner to avoid adverse events.
