Abstract

Purpose of Review

Coordination of glucose monitoring, mealtimes, and insulin delivery in the hospital is complex, involving interactions between multiple key agents and overlapping workflows. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the scope of the problem as well as to assess evidence for interventions.

Recent Findings

In recent years, there has been an emphasis on systems-based approaches which address multiple contributing components of the problem at once in an effort to more seamlessly integrate workflows. Technological advances, such as decision support systems and advances in automated insulin delivery, and strategies that minimize the need for complex insulin regimens hold promise for future study.

Summary

Evaluation of the coordination of insulin delivery is limited by a lack of standardized metrics and systematically collected mealtimes. Nevertheless, successful efforts include system-wide multicomponent interventions, though advances in therapeutic approaches may be of value.
