WALTHAM, MA, May 4, 2017 – A multi-center post-hoc analysis presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 26th Annual Scientific & Clinical Congress by Drs. Jagdeesh Ullal and Joseph Aloi demonstrates that Glytec’s eGlycemic Management System® (eGMS®) enables hospitals to achieve the basal bolus standard of care for subcutaneous insulin therapy with extraordinary efficiency and superior patient outcomes. The new research study, entitled ‘AUTO Study, AUtomatic Titration tO Target: Subcutaneous Basal Bolus Insulin Management Using eGMS in the Non-ICU Setting,’ observed a 19% reduction in average daily blood glucose between admission and discharge -- with 0.00% severe hypoglycemia <40 mg/dL -- while achieving the prescribed target blood glucose of 140-180 mg/dL at all mealtime and bedtime intervals.
