Inpatient Glycemic Management: Glucose Control Relationship with Hospital Variables, Discharge Planning and Education
… dissertation study examined the relationship of glucose control with clinical outcomes, costs, discharge planning and education. Extant studies showed that hyperglycemia, in the presence or absence of a diabetes diagnosis, is prevalent in hospitalized patients. Hyperglycemia is found in one-third …

System Identification and Adaptive Closed-Loop Glucose Control in a Type 1 Diabetic Swine Model
An integrated, automated, adaptive control system, utilizing model predictive control, is developed for closed-loop control of blood glucose in type 1 diabetes, and is experimentally tested using insulin-glucagon infusion pumps to regulate blood glucose online in a diabetic swine model in vivo. As …

A survey of ICU professional nurses' knowledge of blood glucose physiology and blood glucose control in critically ill adult patients in a public tertiary hospital in the Western Cape Province
Blood glucose control with intravenous insulin therapy is one of the most frequently used treatment modalities to manage hyperglycaemia in critically ill patients. Almost all critically ill patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will require blood glucose control to manage stress …

Diabetes Mellitus Glucose Prediction by Linear and Bayesian Ensemble Modeling
… Mellitus is a chronic disease of impaired blood glucose control due to degraded or absent bodily-specific insulin production, or utilization. To the affected, this in many cases implies relying on insulin injections and blood glucose measurements, in order to keep the blood glucose level within …
