Suburban Hospital offers an Inpatient Diabetes Management Service (IDMS), which is a special diabetes clinical consultation service designed to promote better glycemic (blood sugar levels) control and reduce hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and glucose-related safety challenges in hospitalized patients. This unique program is modeled after a successful IDMS at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where it has improved the care of people living with diabetes and decreased patients' length of stay. The service allows the hospital to tailor care for patients that accommodates their diabetes, as well as identify previously undiagnosed cases. This is essential for providing optimal care.
IDMS is currently providing this service in all patient-care areas of the hospital. Any inpatient who has difficulty managing blood glucose levels or is on an insulin pump can be seen by the diabetes specialist. Physicians and nurses can request an endocrinology consult as well.
Mihail "Misha" Zilbermint, MD, was recently appointed to the Technical Expert Panel (TEP) for the American Medical Association Prediabetes Measure Development and Testing Project.
Although he’s an adult endocrinologist, volunteering at an overnight summer camp for children living with type 1 diabetes has made Mihail Zilbermint, M.D., a better doctor.
With insulin becoming unaffordable to many diabetics in the US, how has this community fared during a pandemic, unemployment, and loss of employer-sponsored health care?

Mihail Zilbermint, M.D.
Dr. Zilbermint and his team introduced hospital wide glycemic guidelines and protocols, leading to lower lengths of stays for patients with diabetes, reducing readmissions for them by 15.5 percent and saving about $143,000 per month.
