A blood glucose level of equal to or greater than 180 mg/dL that occurred during stress in a patient without diabetes mellitus (DM) is termed stress hyperglycemia (SH). The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is defined as the fasting blood glucose divided by the blood glucose level that is calculated from the glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c) value on admission. A significantly higher SHR is associated with worse prognostic biomarkers in diabetic patients with complications
Stress hyperglycemia (SH) is an increase in circulating glucose levels in biological fluids as a physiological response to stress in diabetic patients who are known or newly diagnosed, or a pathological condition associated with in-hospital-related hyperglycemia. Interventions. Through their pleiotropic effects, some oral hypoglycemic agents improved stress hyperglycemia. When compared to non-SGLT-I (sodium glucose transporter-inhibitor) users, diabetic patients who used (SGLT-I) and had an acute myocardial infarction had less prevalent stress hyperglycemia, a smaller infarct size, and evidence of a low inflammatory response. The rationale this study is to evaluate the SHR in T2D patients who do not have serious illnesses and are managed with oral hypoglycemic agents
