Overview of Glycemic Control Among Admitted Patients with Diabetes in Tripoli University Hospital

Introduction

Maintaining optimal blood sugar levels is essential for reducing hospital admissions and preventing diabetes-related complications. A recent study at Tripoli University Hospital explored the relationship between HbA1c levels and hospital admission rates, shedding light on the importance of effective glycemic control.

Key Findings of the Study

  • The average HbA1c level among admitted patients was 8.03%.
  • Over 56.5% of patients were admitted with well-controlled diabetes.
  • 55.9% of Type 1 diabetes patients had high HbA1c levels at admission, compared to 42.1% of Type 2 diabetes patients.
  • A significant correlation was observed between higher HbA1c levels and longer hospital stays (R = 0.93, p = 0.000).
  • Poor glycemic control was associated with hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and extended hospitalization.
