Glytec’s Software Yields Superior Patient Outcomes According to Four New Studies in Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology

Safety and efficacy of Glytec’s eGlycemic Management System® for diabetes therapy management, and its advantages over conventional methods, is further validated by four peer-reviewed studies.

Four new studies published in the January 2018 issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (JDST) demonstrate superior patient outcomes and organizational performance with Glytec’s eGlycemic Management System® (eGMS®) versus conventional, paper-based protocols. In all instances, which included both inpatient and outpatient settings, use of eGMS® for diabetes and insulin therapy management was observed to be safer and more effective than ‘usual care,’ with lower rates of hypoglycemia, faster resolution of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), expedited time to target glucose, and sustained reductions in A1c. Additionally, use of eGMS® led to substantive efficiency gains in provider workflows, fewer point-of-care tests, shorter lengths of stay, and full adoption of best practices, including 96% utilization of basal bolus insulin.

New Research Shows People on Insulin For Diabetes Maintain A1C Reductions Through Digital Therapy Management

A study presented at EASD 2017 shows long-term A1C reductions through personalized insulin dose adjustments every eight weeks using Glytec’s therapy management software.

More than 50 percent of all people using insulin to manage diabetes are not at their target A1C, which is why this high-risk population is a primary focus of value-based care strategies among providers and payers alike. A retrospective study presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes shows that patients whose insulin therapy is guided by Glytec’s FDA-cleared Glucommander™ software not only achieve glucose control rapidly, but with ongoing personalized dose adjustments, successfully maintain A1C reductions long term.

Case Studies Presented at Diabetes Technology Society Conference Highlight Millions in Hospital Cost Savings with Improved Glucose Control

One study presented at the International Hospital Diabetes Meeting observed first-year cost savings of nearly $7.5 million stemming from adoption of best practice for insulin therapy.

A series of studies and presentations included in the 6th International Hospital Diabetes Meeting highlighted the high cost of poor glucose management, and in particular, severe hypoglycemia (< 40 mg/dL) in the acute care setting. With thirty to forty percent of ALL hospitalized patients requiring insulin therapy, not just those with diabetes, the common problem of insulin mismanagement has significant impact on care quality, patient safety and patient experience, as well as cost and value.

Computer-Guided Insulin Titration Helps Hospitals Meet Basal Bolus Standard, Study Finds

An analysis of an electronic glucose management system developed by Glytec, which helps nurses safely manage basal bolus insulin dosing in the hospital, was presented at the recent meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 26th Annual Scientific and Clinical Congress, held in Austin, Texas.

The movement toward quality ratings — and an increased emphasis on preventing readmissions — demanded solutions that help hospitals achieve the standard, which ADA clarified in January 2017 to state that basal bolus insulin was the preferred treatment for noncritically ill patients, and that, “Prolonged sole use of sliding scale insulin in the inpatient hospital setting is strongly discouraged.”

Reduced Inpatient Hypoglycemia With Electronic Glycemic Management System

An electronic glycemic management system (eGMS) may help lower rates of hypoglycemia and lower average blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients compared with usual care, according to a new study.

The aim of this study was to compare hypoglycemia rates in patients managed with an eGMS compared with patients managed by usual care. In this current study, there were 45,335 patients treated with usual care and 13,351 patients treated with eGMS. The target blood glucose was pegged at 100 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL. The researchers evaluated how many patients experiencing mild to moderate hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL, <60 mg/dL, and <50 mg/dL) and severe hypoglycemia (<40 mg/dL) in the eGMS group compared with the usual care group.

Glytec Presents Evidence on How Using Data to Deliver Insulin Improves Outcomes

Using an algorithm to recommend insulin dosing, both in and out of the hospital, was shown to improve glycemic control and aid population health management.

The march toward value-based care is occurring on many fronts, with diabetes quality metrics front and center. Providers from giant hospital systems to primary care practices are looking for ways to find savings—and make patients healthier. In this mix is Glytec, a 10-year-old company founded on the idea that taking guesswork and time out of insulin dosing, first in hospital settings and then outside them, could dramatically reduce episodes of hypo- and hyperglycemia. This would provide savings and lead to better glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels for patients with previously uncontrolled diabetes.
