Diabetes in a geriatric ward: Efficacy and safety of new insulin analogs in very old inpatients
Aims: 1) to evaluate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in a geriatric ward; 2) to assess the efficacy and safety of insulin analogs in elderly inpatients over 65 years of age. Methods: We analysed the medical records of 1851 elderly inpatients admitted to our geriatric clinic from March 2009 to September 2011, to identify patients with DM. The efficacy and safety of insulin analogs were measured in patients with a hospital stay of at least 9 days, by assessing the means of all glycemic sticks (4-7 sticks/day), number of hyperglycemic events (>250 mg/dL) and number of hypoglycemic events (
