Jagdeesh Ullal from Eastern Virginia Medical School: Measuring the Costs of Hypoglycemia in Hospital Patients

Jagdeesh Ullal, MD, MS, from Eastern Virginia Medical School discussed this topic during the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in New Orleans. Ullal noted that while the research could apply to outpatient care as well his research focused on hospitals where costs can vary based on how long the patient stays and the amount of care needed during their stay.
