Brief summary

With the advanced management of diabetes and new innovative anti-hyperglycemic therapy hyperglycemia remains a culprit factor affecting the outcome of patients admitted to the hospital in general wards. Efforts from health care providers to assess and control blood sugar by a simplified method such as certified point of care hand-sized glucometers is the fruitful protocol if the results near the target that is endorsed by well-known diabetes societies. In non-critically patients the premeal blood sugar ≤140 mg /dl and ≤ 180 mg /dl after a meal. The unstable economy and political crises with the pandemic of Covid-19 making us use a glucometer to monitor and control the fluctuation of blood sugar in order to decrease the burden on the patients and health care providers in the form of a stay in the hospital and minimize wasting laboratory resources.
