Foreword
Diabetes mellitus is arguably the most common diagnosis encountered in hospitalized patients. Although relatively few patients are hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of diabetes, many patients on both medical and surgical services have diabetes as a complicated condition. Admission and readmission rates are significantly increased for patients with diabetes and appropriate management of diabetes in hospitalized patients can improve outcomes and reduce the length of stay. Dr. Rifka C. Schulman-Rosenbaum has assembled an impressive group of experts to address all aspects of diabetes in hospitalized patients. The topics include diabetes management when diabetes is a primary or a secondary diagnosis (for the latter group including a primary diagnosis of COVID-19), nutritional aspects in hospitalized patients with diabetes, perioperative management, diabetes in patients with oncological diagnoses, and multiple other topics spanning 30 chapters. A thorough discussion of diabetes technology as it relates to the hospital setting is also included. This monograph without a doubt will be an extremely useful source of information for physicians in multiple specialties as well as students of medicine at all levels. The editor and the contributors can be proud of their remarkable accomplishment. Department of Medicine, Lenox Hill Hospital New York, NY, USA

Preface
Diabetes mellitus has become increasingly prevalent in the United States and worldwide. In conjunction with the epidemic of obesity, the sheer numbers of patients with diagnosed and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes are straining the healthcare system, including a high prevalence of diabetes patients in the hospital setting. Frequently 25–30% of hospital patients have diabetes, with concomitant hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia which impacts morbidity and mortality. Inpatient diabetes management has become increasingly more complex following the advent of many newer pharmacotherapy options as well as devices including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. Patients often have other comorbidities such as renal impairment or cancer, or require specialized surgery or nutritional approaches, all with important differences when it comes to diabetes care. Furthermore, differentiating the unique types of diabetes mellitus that may be encountered in the inpatient setting is critical, as management differs in some key areas. Because of the high prevalence of diabetes in the hospital, having the ability to properly care for patients requires not only skilled endocrinologists and endocrine fellows but the close involvement of internal medicine hospitalists and other specialty physicians (i.e., emergency department, surgery, obstetrics, critical care), residents, medical students, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses including Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, registered dietitians, and more. Diabetes is encountered in all segments of the hospital; its effects are far reaching. Improving inpatient diabetes management can affect healthcare cost and benefit the hospital both financially and from a quality management standpoint. Discharge planning and diabetes education are also fundamental components of management to ensure a safe transition from inpatient to the outpatient setting and to prevent readmissions. This book is designed to provide practical guidance on diabetes management for hospitalized patients. The number of topics covered is meant to be comprehensive and include discussion on many potential scenarios encountered on the inpatient service, but in a concise and user-friendly manner. I hope that it will be extremely

The History of Inpatient Diabetes Danielle Brooks, Rifka C. Schulman-Rosenbaum, Rodolfo Galindo, and Guillermo E. Umpierrez
Introduction Within the timeline of modern medicine, the history of diabetes treatment is comparatively brief, yet monumental. After the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best in 1921, the first successful use of insulin occurred in a 14-year-old patient with diabetic ketoacidosis in 1922. It was not until 1936 that the first modified insulin using animal products derived from cattle and pigs was introduced. The first synthetic, genetically engineered insulin using E. coli was introduced in 1978, while synthetic analog insulins became available in the 1980s, and the newest analogs were introduced in the last 20 years [1–3].

controlled trials involving insulin use for diabetes management in the hospital have occurred more recently in the history of medicine. In this chapter, we review the history of inpatient diabetes management as it pertains to the landmark trials, clinical practice guidelines, and evolving models of diabetes care in the hospital setting.
Inpatient Diabetes Epidemiology The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rising. As of 2022, 11.3% of Americans have diabetes [4]. Of those with diabetes, approximately 77% have a known diagnosis, whereas the remaining cases are undiagnosed. There are 1.4 million new diabetes diagnoses each year [4]. The number of diabetes-related hospitalizations per year has increased significantly since 2000, nearly doubling to greater than 8.2 million hospitalizations in 2018 [5]. The total costs of diabetes care in the United States have matched this rising prevalence, increasing by 26% from 2012 to 2017, to $327 billion annually [6]. Inpatient diabetes accounts for approximately 30% of total costs of diabetes care [6]. Hyperglycemic emergencies are frequently encountered in inpatient medicine. A 2015 observational study revealed that approximately 23% of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions involve patients with diabetes mellitus with 9.3% of patients having had undiagnosed diabetes prior to their hospitalization [7]. Data from 2009 to 2014 shows that the age-adjusted rate of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-related hospitalizations increased by 54.9% to 30.2 per 1000 persons, with an average annual rate of increase at 6.3%; fortunately, inpatient DKA-related mortality rates in the United States have declined over time [8]. In 2018, the rate of DKA-related hospitalizations was more frequent than that of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) [9]. It is well established that hyperglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes including increased hospital mortality and prolonged hospitalizations in patients with and without diabetes [10–13]. Inpatient hyperglycemia management has changed over time to optimize patient care to treat the growing diabetes population and avoid the negative consequences of both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia [14, 15]. Here, we will review the landmark studies that have served as the foundation of modern-day inpatient diabetes practice. A timeline of these studies is illustrated in Fig. 1.1, and summary of their key findings can be found in Table 1.1 for the critically ill population and Table 1.2 for the noncritically ill population.

Kitabchi RCT (1976) [17]
N = 48 DKA patients
Primary objective To describe a new regimen for diabetic coma using low-dose IM regular insulin
Intervention Low-dose protocol: initial mean insulin dose: 16 ± 2 units, then 5–10 units IV or IM hourly To compare High-dose low-dose IM protocol: >10 insulin to units IV insulin high-dose IV + 30 units of and SC insulin SC insulin (if in DKA BG 300– 399 mg/dL), increased up to IV 50 units with 100 units SC (if BG >1000 mg/dL). Both groups were followed by 50 units/h of SC insulin Low-dose protocol: 0.1 unit/lb body weight IM insulin followed by 5 units/h IM insulin
Key findings Low-dose IM insulin is effective in DKA treatment
Less insulin was needed to correct BG to 215 mg/ dL When the patient was discharged from the ICU, BG was maintained at 180–200 mg/ dL for both groups SC group: SC insulin lispro 0.3 units/kg and then 0.1 units/kg/h until BG was 240 mg/dL) compared to BBI or basal-plus There was no difference in hypoglycemia between BBI and basal-plus regimens
For continuous SSI patients: 96% of patients with admission BG
