Electronic Glycemic Management System Improved Glycemic Control and Reduced Complications in Patients With Diabetes Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The InsulinAPP protocol effectively optimizes GC and reduces adverse outcomes in T2DM patients' post-CABG surgery, offering a cost-effective solution for inpatient diabetes management.
