Welcome to diabetesinhospitals.org

Evidence is growing of the tremendous benefits of glucose control and carefully managed inpatient care for people with diabetes. 

The Minnesota Diabetes Steering Committee recently formed the Diabetes in Hospitals Action Group to develop a vision, identify opportunities and begin to communicate statewide initiatives. The Action Group is building on three years of providing successful professional programs: Quality Diabetes Care in the Hospital. To date 38 hospitals have attended. Many more than once. Numerous documentation tools have been shared, needs assessments have been compiled, and a recording of the 2006 program produced. 

Our mission

To support and promote high quality care of people with diabetes in Minnesota acute care settings through information, education, resources and networking.

The purpose of this website is to share resources for improving diabetes care in the hospital.

The site will offer our 70 sample policies, protocols, procedures and training guidelines compiled from hospitals across the country. Check out Documents & Links and About This Action Group.
