Case Study: a Northeast hospital system improves glycemic control and reduces costs with Glytec’s Glucommander

Northeast Hospital System reduces hypoglycemia 40% with Glytec

Northeast Hospital System, a major regional healthcare provider and Level-I Trauma Center, faced significant challenges in managing patient blood sugar. Their existing manual protocols for insulin dosing led to unacceptable rates of hypo- and hyperglycemia, high costs, and a hesitant staff reluctant to adopt new technologies.

Glytec implemented its Glucommander solution, starting with IV insulin management and later adding SubQ. This provided point-of-care dosing with real-time data and built-in safety tools. The results were substantial: a 40% reduction in hypoglycemia, the avoidance of 344 adverse events, and a total cost avoidance of $1.15 million. Glytec's solution also reduced ICU length of stay and garnered strong staff buy-in through effective education and streamlined workflows.
