Can the inpatient hospital setting be a golden opportunity to improve colon cancer screening rates in the United States?
The time of hospitalization is a potential "golden opportunity" to counsel patients and promote colon cancer screening.
Hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes is associated with a reduction in postprandial insulin secretion, specifically through a reduction in insulin pulsatility. Reducing chronic hyperglycaemia by basal insulin therapy enhances endogenous β-cell function in the postprandial state. These data support the use of basal insulin regimens in the pharmacotherapy of overtly hyperglycaemic patients with type 2 diabetes.
