However, there are substantial problems such as coverage, affordability, fund management,...
During fasting, nutritional (or prandial) insulin is withheld, and subcutaneous correctional insulin is initiated with blood glucose monitoring every 4 to 6 hours.

or how well that insulin that is produced is working. The majority of patients with T2DM will be on an oral type of medication. Patients with T1DM will be on a combination of either long-acting insulin with short-acting as a sliding scale, intermediate-acting insulin with short-acting insuli...
Of the 164 patients, 160 were not fasting, 27 were treated with an insulin sliding scale at some stage during their admission, and in 14 (52%) of the patients who were on sliding scales the scale was used inappropriately. Most hospital inpatients with diabetes, i.e. 48 (30.4%), were ...
Protein-rich foods can definitely raise insulin requirements and blood sugar levels, but not in an entirely predictable way, and not to the extent we see with carbohydrates. Should insulin users dose insulin based on a protein gram sliding scale? I’m leaning towards simply recommending the same...

Intensifications of scheduled and sliding scale insulin, but not oral medications, were associated with a 11.1 mg/dL (p < 0.0001) and 12.2 mg/dL (p < 0.0001) reduction in the average daily glucose, respectively. Hypoglycemia (<50 mg/dL) was documented on 2.2% of days after ...
Insulin infusion therapy in diabetic patients with AMI seems to have better outcomes regarding arrhythmia, stroke and cardiovascular mortality compared to sliding scale insulin therapy.doi:10.1016/j.jsha.2013.03.044Abkar Al QudaimiAhmed Saghir
Intensifications of scheduled and sliding scale insulin were associated with a 10.1 mg/dL (p<0.0001) and 9.6 mg/dL (p=0.0002) reduction in the average daily glucose, and oral medications were not associated with a significant change. Hypoglycemia (< 50 mg/dL) was documented in 2.2% of ...
