Introduction: Persons with diabetes may need to be hospitalized in order to improve diabetes balance. We aimed to evaluate the benefits from hospitalization in a diabetes department on glycemic parameters.
Method: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on diabetic patients consulting for the first time after a hospitalization in the department (C) of the National Institute of Nutrition of Tunis for the management of a poorly controlled diabetes.
Results: We included 60 diabetic patients with a mean age of 49.1±16.8 years and a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.28. Type 2 diabetes affected 66% of the patients. The mean body mass index increased from 28.2±5.9 kg/m2 during hospitalization to 29±5.7 kg/m2 at the follow-up visit (P=NS). The mean fasting blood glucose remained stable: 11.6 mmol/l during hospitalization VS 11.2 mmol/l at the consultation while glycated haemoglobin decreased significantly from 10.2% to 9.1% (P=0.009). The lipid profile showed a non-significant decrease in triglyceride levels from 1.6 mmol/l to 1.4 mmol/l, a non-significant increase in total cholesterol levels from 4.5 mmol/l to 5 mmol/l.
Conclusion: Therapeutic and dietary education is a pillar of care for all hospitalized diabetic patients to achieve good glycemic control while maintaining regular outpatient monitoring.
