Inpatient Diabetes Management (Made Ridiculously Simple)

Beyond sliding scales, inpatient diabetes can be made simple—and safer. In this on‑demand update, you’ll learn when to use basal–bolus regimens, correctional insulin, and select oral agents (including DPP‑4 inhibitors), and how to adjust for steroids, procedures, and NPO status through practical cases. Define evidence‑based glycemic targets, understand why control matters, and leave with a bedside‑ready plan that simplifies decisions and improves outcomes.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Inpatient Management of Diabetes

Stress hyperglycemia turns routine admissions risky; transform that risk into reliable care. In this rapid update, recognize how inpatient glucose drives infections, ICU use, and length of stay, then apply evidence from landmark trials and ADA standards to design safer targets and replace sliding-scale with basal-based regimens. Master steroid and nutrition scenarios, avoid high-risk agents, consider modern adjuncts, and finish with a discharge playbook and a look to inpatient CGM.

Inpatient Management of Alcohol Withdrawal and Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder

When withdrawal strikes on the ward, precision matters. Through a focused inpatient case, you'll recognize high-risk patients, describe withdrawal pathophysiology, and review benzodiazepines, phenobarbital, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine. Then discuss gabapentin/anticonvulsants, apply front-loading, symptom-triggered and fixed-schedule dosing, assess withdrawal scales, weigh IV vs oral thiamine, and evaluate AUD medications via the 2023 JAMA meta-analysis for safer care.
