Bode has co-authored many publications on the subject of inpatient glucose control and was a co-developer of the Glucommander software, a computer-directed intravenous insulin system manufactured by Glytec, LLC. The Glucommander is intended to evaluate the current as well  as cumulative patient blood glucose values, and, based on the aggregate of those measurements, whether one or many, regulate the infusion of I.V. fluids, through an I.V. infusion pump, and drive the blood glucose level towards a predetermined target range. Once that target blood glucose range has been reached, the system's function is to recommend a titration of insulin, glucose, and saline for the purpose of maintaining the patient's blood glucose level in that target range. The system is programmed to provide intravenous dosing of glucose, saline, and insulin, as well as subcutaneous dosing of glucose and insulin
