Previously undiagnosed diabetes or so-called hospital-induced stress hyperglycemia carries the same poor prognosis as known DM and should be treated.[69] It is also important to establish a stable regimen of diet and pharmacologic therapy well in advance of anticipated discharge.[72] Patients should be taught basic survival skills by the diabetes educator or nursing staff, particularly if they are new to glucose self-monitoring and insulin administration. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hyperglycemia.
