As Dr Katz points out, several alternative insulin regimens are more scientifically sound and probably take no longer to implement. He describes the problems involved with the sliding-scale approach, cases in which it may be useful, and specific details to watch to improve its effectiveness....

Sliding Scale Therapy What to Keep in Mind Comments More To reduce 400 mg/dL blood sugar to about 100 mg/dL, you would need at least 10 units of insulin. However, this depends on your weight and other factors In a healthy individual, one unit of insulin should cause their blood ...
People with Type 2 Diabetes might have to check their blood sugar levels 2-4 times a day depending on their pre-existing body conditions. Furthermore, additional insulin intake also plays a pivotal role in the number of times one assesses blood sugar. In general, the preferred timings are be...
You can do a sliding scale or set dose of insulin, but if we don’t count carbs, it’s likely that we won’t have the best blood sugar levels we could have. If you take carb counting out of the three pillars, we would start to see our blood sugar be affected because we are ...
Many people calculate the thermal efficiency of a cogeneration plant in a way that is specifically excluded by the second Law of Thermodynamics. More useful methods account for the higher value of electricity-which can be transmitted over great distances and converted into many other energy forms-co...
The largest randomized weight-loss trial ever conducted to examine insulin/diet interactions revealed no interactive effect of insulin phenotype with diet composition on body weight in the context of energy restriction. However, smaller studies revealed unique effects of carbohydrate restriction on e...
(2) In these patients, management with only an insulin sliding scale can have severe complications. Diabetes type and endogenous insulin Some topics covered include migraine prophylaxis in the adolescent and young adult population, succinylcholine in critically ill patients, insulin sliding scales, glyce...
