Insulin5
- Typically, hyperglycemia in the setting of acute stroke is treated with subcutaneous insulin on a sliding scale. (medscape.com)
- however, IV insulin increases the risk of hypoglycemia. (medscape.com)
- The safety and efficacy of IV insulin in the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with acute stroke are being determined by ongoing/planned clinical trials. (medscape.com)
- Hyperglycaemia is the opposite to hypoglycemia: it happens when your blood glucose levels are too high and there's not enough insulin in your body to bring down your BGLs. (jdrf.org.au)
- It's normal to have hyperglycaemia when you're living with type 1 diabetes, and it's something that's usually managed with insulin. (jdrf.org.au)
Diabetes1
- Up to 50% of people with diabetes suffer from diabetic neuropathy. (jdrf.org.au)
Blood2
- Patients with acute stroke and hyperglycemia are often kept NPO (nothing by mouth), because of the complicating effects of feeding on the blood glucose level. (medscape.com)
- Ultimately, you're trying to avoid hypoglycemia (or a 'hypo') , which means abnormally low blood glucose levels. (jdrf.org.au)
Include3
- These include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) . (jdrf.org.au)
- Other long-term impacts of T1D include diabetic macular oedema. (jdrf.org.au)
- In this short review, I summarise the state-of-the-art for TIR, emphasising that TIR is largely determined by the extent of hyperglycaemia and that any discussions around TIR goals should include consideration of time below range (TBR) as well. (springer.com)
