Study summary

The goal of this study (CGM utilization with IV Insulin EndoTool and Subcutaneous Insulin in the Neuro ICU) is to understand how CGM technology utilized in conjunction with EndoTool IV insulin could improve glycemic management in the NeuroICU, specifically in predicting and preventing hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes with resultant improvement in patient morbidity and mortality. The second arm of the study will focus on how CGM technology utilized in patients on basal bolus subcutaneous insulin while on high dose glucocorticoids could impact glycemic management. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Is CGM technology data accurate compared to the current standard point of care among NeuroICU patients?
  2. How CGM technology could improve glycemic management in the critical care setting, specifically in predicting and preventing hypoglycemic episodes with IV or subcutaneous insulin?
  3. How CGM technology could help treating hyperglycemia in the NeuroICU with resultant improvement in patient morbidity, mortality, and length of stay?
Read the detailed description

The study is comparing current standard of care blood glucose fingersticks or serum blood glucose collection to CGM data utilizing the Freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM. A recently conducted study of 8 critically ill patients with diabetes that wore Freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM's during their ICU stay demonstrated high test-retest reliability and acceptable accuracy when compared with arterial blood glucose measurements. The study aims to evaluate utilization of CGM technology and EndoTool in the critical care setting by recruiting a cohort of 10 participants with hyperglycemia and/or diabetes mellitus who are anticipated to require blood glucose monitoring and IV insulin to achieve adequate glycemic control while in the Neuro ICU. The study also aims to evaluate utilization of CGM technology and subcutaneous insulin by recruiting a cohort of 10 patients with a history of diabetes mellitus on high dose steroids who are anticipated to require blood glucose monitoring and treatment with basal bolus insulin.

Participants will be enrolled on admission to the Neuro ICU and have the CGM device placed. The study aims to evaluate CGM technology by comparison of glucose values obtained from the CGM to the serum or fingerstick blood glucose levels while the patient is either receiving IV insulin via EndoTool or subcutaneous insulin while on high dose glucocorticoids. Current standard of care with monitoring glycemic data utilizing point of care blood glucose fingersticks and serum glucose will be utilized for comparison.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of CGM technology- Neuro ICU patients with hyperglycemia, DKA or HHS and require IV insulin using the EndoTool software, will wear the freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM for either 14 consecutive days or their Neuro ICU admission.

    Neuro ICU patients with hyperglycemia, DKA or HHS and require IV insulin using the EndoTool software, will wear the freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM for either 14 consecutive days or their Neuro ICU admission. CGM data will be available in real time to monitor glucose during their hospitalization and studying if this data could improve insulin titration using the EndoTool software. Dosing of insulin will be performed utilizing standard of care fingerstick blood glucose values and not CGM data.

    Time frame: Participants will wear CGM for either 14 consecutive days or duration of their Neuro ICU admission

  2. Feasibility of CGM technology in the critical care setting - monitor glucose during their hospitalization and studying if this data could improve subcutaneous insulin titration

    Neuro ICU patients with hyperglycemia, DKA or HHS and require subcutaneous insulin with concurrent high dose glucocorticoids, will wear the freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM for either 14 consecutive days or their Neuro ICU admission. CGM data will be available in real time to monitor glucose during their hospitalization and studying if this data could improve subcutaneous insulin titration . Dosing of insulin will be performed utilizing standard of care fingerstick blood glucose values and not CGM data.

    Time frame: Participants will wear CGM for either 14 consecutive days or duration of their Neuro ICU admission

  3. Comparison of CGM with fingerstick blood glucose values in critical care setting.

    Neuro ICU patients with hyperglycemia, DKA or HHS and require either EndoTool IV insulin or subcutaneous insulin with concurrent high dose glucocorticoids, will wear the freestyle Libre 2.0 CGM for either 14 consecutive days or their Neuro ICU admission. CGM data will be available in real time to monitor glucose during their hospitalization. Comparison of glucose values from CGM technology and the standard of care fingerstick blood glucose values will be performed.

    Time frame: Participants will wear CGM for either 14 consecutive days or duration of their Neuro ICU admission
