Intensive insulin therapy and mortality among critically ill patients: a meta-analysis including NICE-SUGAR study data (2009, result): “Another possible explanation for the discordant results between trials is that the degree with which blood glucose levels fluctuates in an individual patient may be as important as the average blood glucose concentration achieved.(47) It is possible for 2 trials to report having achieved similar mea”
International Consensus on Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (2017, background): “Increased glucose variability is consistently associated with mortality in the intensive care unit (73,74) [C,B] and is a consistent predictor of hypoglycemia, both in prospective studies and within the setting of randomized clinical trials (64,75) [C,B].”
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American Diabetes Association Consensus Statement on Inpatient Glycemic Control (2009, background): “Several studies have found glucose variability to be an independent predictor of mortality in critically ill patients (63,66,82).”
