Stress Hyperglycemia as an Indicator for Future Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Cohort Study
We hypothesize that stress hyperglycemia is an indicator that a patient will develop type 2
diabetes mellitus in the future. Subjects who are not diabetic are enrolled and blood
glucose readings reviewed during their intensive care unit stay. All subjects are consented
and have a HbA1C level drawn to determine if they have diabetes mellitus or not. They are
then followed up in 1 year and the HbA1C repeated to determine if they have developed
diabetes mellitus over the course.
