Developing and Implementing a Quality Measure for Glycemic Control

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Diabetes

In brief

Many patients with diabetes are under sub-optimal glycemic control. Central to the clinician's task in improving glycemic control is the management of hypoglycemic medication therapy, including the use of drugs such as insulin and sulfonylureas. Clinical trials have demonstrated that more intensive hypoglycemic medication therapy results in improved glycemic control. Yet quality measures for this critical process of care have not been developed and we know little about how physicians actually manage hypoglycemic medications.
