Diabetes affects an estimated 25 million Americans (11% of the population over 20 years old and 26% of patients over 65). Therefore, no matter what specialty, healthcare providers need to be ready for diabetic emergencies. Prevention, and rapid recognition and appropriate treatment can be life-saving. Understanding what causes diabetic emergencies can be key to prevention of complications. Insulin is a lifesaving hormone, but is one of the most confusing yet dangerous medications especially in our hospitalized patient. Insulin is a powerful tool if used correctly and healthcare providers armed with knowledge can make a big difference. This seminar can provide essential tools for patient safety, even if diabetes is not your specialty.
