ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We aim to provide a practical guidance on the use of intravenous insulin infusion for managing inpatient hyperglycemia. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
This document was formulated based on the review of available literature and personal experience of authors. We have used various case scenarios to illustrate variables which should be taken into account when deciding adjustments in infusion rate, including but not restricted to ambient blood glucose level and magnitude of blood glucose change in the previous hour.CONCLUSION:
The guidance can be generalized to any situation where dedicated protocols are lacking, trained manpower is not available and resource constraints are present.Keywords
