Abstract

Poor glycemic control in patients undergoing BMT is associated with non-relapse mortality. Impaired immune function and infection related to hyperglycemia, as well as increased morbidity and mortality associated with hypoglycemia and glucose variability have been demonstrated. Medications utilized in the BMT population; e.g. steroids and immunosuppressive agents, combined with the conditions of neutropenia and type II or steroid induced diabetes mellitus, necessitates well coordinated blood glucose management in order to improve overall patient outcomes.
