Hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients is a common yet often underestimated challenge, affecting both known diabetics and those with stress-induced glucose elevation. Poor glycemic control can lead to increased complications, prolonged hospital stays, and worse outcomes. In this insightful episode of MedPOD AFMC, Maj Harikrishnan hosts Brig (Dr) J Muthukrishnan, SM, VSM, a distinguished professor of medicine and an endocrinologist of national repute, to explore the key aspects of inpatient hyperglycemia management.

Topics discussed include:
✅ The prevalence and significance of hyperglycemia in hospital settings
✅ Ideal glucose targets and treatment approaches
✅ Managing hyperglycemia in non-diabetics, surgical patients, and those on enteral or parenteral nutrition
✅ Special considerations for steroid-induced hyperglycemia
✅ Transitioning patients safely at discharge
