Gaps in Glycaemic Monitoring and Underuse of Cardioprotective Glucose-lowering Agents: Challenges of inpatient diabetes care identified by EFIM’s Diabesity Day Survey 2024
We observed an underuse of cardioprotective glucose-lowering therapies, low rates of glycaemic monitoring, and low availability of HbA1c readings, concluding that clinical guidelines are not sufficiently implemented in everyday practice in Europe. Based on this, we advocate for better staff training, involvement of diabetologists, and raising awareness of the benefits of cardioprotective agents in the hospital.
