The prevalence of internal diseases increasing with age is the reason for the increased number of seniors among those hospitalized in non-surgical beds. The disease that is the reason for hospitalization in a patient with diabetes usually fluctuates blood sugar. A number of examination methods require preparation with a change in intake and diet composition, a certain period of fasting before or after the procedure. All this increases the risk of hypo/hyperglycemia. It threatens the health and life of the patient. Prevention is especially frequent monitoring of blood glucose. Despite the advanced development of collection and measurement of glucose in capillary blood, continuous glucose measurement with a sensor appears to be a possible positive alternative. Therefore, immediately after the GIK beds were put into operation, we took advantage of the possibilities offered by Intermittently Scanned Continuous Glycemic Measurement (isCGM). Our first experiences with the use of isCGM in elderly patients hospitalized at GIK are very positive. When implementing the method, it was a surprising finding that there is not much data available in the scientific literature evaluating the benefits/risks of isCGM during routine non-ICU hospitalization in patients requiring frequent glycemic monitoring.

Keywords: intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring; is-CGM; in patiens; diabetes mellitus.
