Comparison of two glycemic discharge goals in ED patients with hyperglycemia, a randomized trial

Hyperglycemia is commonly encountered in the ED; the importance of glucose reduction in patients well enough to be discharged is unknown. We conducted a prospective, randomized trial of ED patients with hyperglycemia with a glucose value 400–600 mg/dL who were discharged from the ED, excluding those...

Zusammenfassung:Hyperglycemia is commonly encountered in the ED; the importance of glucose reduction in patients well enough to be discharged is unknown. We conducted a prospective, randomized trial of ED patients with hyperglycemia with a glucose value 400–600 mg/dL who were discharged from the ED, excluding those with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Patients were randomly assigned to a discharge glucose goal,
