Expanding Use of CGM in Critical Care: Impact on Nurse Work Patterns and Patient Outcomes

The primary objective of this implementation study is to assess the feasibility of real time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) implementation using a CGM plus (+) point-of-care (POC) protocol among patients on IV insulin or those with hyperglycemia (\>250mg/dl) in the critical care hospital environments.

This study analyzes the feasibility of inpatient real time CGM implementation through the use of a CGM + POC protocol as routine care for glycemic monitoring among patients on IV insulin or those with hyperglycemia (\>250mg/dl). The investigators will examine the effects on medical intensive care (MICU) patient's (N=100) glycemic control compared to matched historical control patients (N=100) from the MICU who received fingerstick POC.
