Methods: A retrospective analysis of 190 charts of patients with DM who underwent renal transplantation over a 2-year period was conducted. Patients were grouped according to admission glucose and mean inpatient daily glucose (≤140 mg/dL, 141–180 mg/dL, and >180 mg/dL). Results: Admission glucose was not associated with LOS. A mean inpatient daily glucose of ≤140 mg/dL was associated with a longer LOS compared to a mean inpatient daily glucose of >180 mg/dL (p=0.03). Patients with an admission glucose of ≤140 mg/dL had approximately half the rate of hypoglycemic events compared to those with admission glucose of 141−180 mg/dL (odds ratio [OR]=2.1; p=0.02) or >180 mg/dL (OR=1.9; p=0.04). However, patients whose mean daily glucose was ≤140 mg/dL had approximately twice the rate of hypoglycemic events than those whose mean daily glucose was 141−180 mg/dL (OR=0.4; p=0.01) or >180 mg/dL (OR=0.4; p=0.004). The incidence of infections was low and was not associated with admission or mean daily glucose levels. Conclusion: Lower mean daily inpatient glucose levels (≤140 mg/dL) are associated with longer LOS and greater incidence of hypoglycemic episodes in diabetes patients undergoing renal transplantation. Our findings suggest that target blood glucose levels of 140−180 mg/dL may be appropriate in this specific population. Additional prospective research is needed to confirm these findings.
