Glucose Variability

چکیده
The proposed contribution of glucose variability to the development of the complications of diabetes beyond that of glycemic exposure is supported by reports that oxidative stress, the putative mediator of such complications, is greater for intermittent as opposed to sustained hyperglycemia. Variability of glycemia in ambulatory conditions defined as the deviation from steady state is a phenomenon of normal physiology. Comprehensive recording of glycemia is required for the generation of any measurement of glucose variability. To avoid distortion of variability to that of glycemic exposure, its calculation should be devoid of a time component.

Glucose Variability: Where It Is Important and How to Measure It
Glucose variability predicts hypoglycemia in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and has consistently been related to mortality in nondiabetic patients in the intensive care unit. SD and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions have historically been very popular measures of glucose variability. For reasons outlined in this counterpoint, I propose to use coefficient of variation and the mean absolute ...
متن کاملIs reducing variability of blood glucose the real but hidden target of intensive insulin therapy?
Since the first report that intensive insulin therapy reduced mortality in selected surgical critically ill patients, lowering of blood glucose levels has been recommended as a means of improving patient outcomes. In this initial Leuven trial, blood glucose control by protocol using insulin was applied to 98.7% of patients in the intensive group but to only 39.2% (P < 0.0001) of patients in the...
متن کاملAssociations between bolus infusion of hydrocortisone, glycemic variability and insulin infusion rate variability in critically Ill patients under moderate glycemic control
BACKGROUND We retrospectively studied associations between bolus infusion of hydrocortisone and variability of the blood glucose level and changes in insulin rates in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. METHODS 'Glycemic variability' and 'insulin infusion rate variability' were calculated from and expressed as the standard deviation (SD) of all blood glucose levels and insulin infusion rates ...
متن کاملGlycemic variability and glucose complexity in critically ill patients: a retrospective analysis of continuous glucose monitoring data
INTRODUCTION Glycemic variability as a marker of endogenous and exogenous factors, and glucose complexity as a marker of endogenous glucose regulation are independent predictors of mortality in critically ill patients. We evaluated the impact of real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on glycemic variability in critically ill patients on intensive insulin therapy (IIT), and investigated g...
متن کاملGlycemic Variability Percentage: A Novel Method for Assessing Glycemic Variability from Continuous Glucose Monitor Data
BACKGROUND High levels of glycemic variability are still observed in most patients with diabetes with severe insulin deficiency. Glycemic variability may be an important risk factor for acute and chronic complications. Despite its clinical importance, there is no consensus on the optimum method for characterizing glycemic variability. METHOD We developed a simple new metric, the glycemic vari...
متن کاملThe effect of a hypoglycemia treatment protocol on glycemic variability in critically ill patients.
INTRODUCTION Hypoglycemia and glucose variability are independently associated with increased mortality in septic, surgical, and mixed intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Treatment of hypoglycemia with dextrose 50% can overcorrect blood glucose levels and increase glucose variability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a hypoglycemia treatment protocol focused on minimizing ...
