Sliding scale therapy refers to an insulin administration regimen. Insulin is administered based on pre-meal levels of blood sugar. More insulin is administered if blood sugarlevels are high, and the dose is reduced if blood sugar levels are near the acceptable range. Sliding scale insulin therapy...
Sliding-scale Insulin Therapy: an Ineffective Option for Inpatient Glycemic ControlIn-hospital hyperglycemia negatively affects patient outcomes and healthcare costs, particularly in critically ill patients. Inpatient hyperglycemia is a significant problem, regardless of one?s diabetes history, and can ...
where α is the learning rate hyper-parameter and J is the cost function, meaning the weighted sum of the loss function L over the entire training set. Once the optimization is complete, the trained ANN will have learned the function mapping input and output with a set of optimized weights...
A sliding scale works for therapy in that the cost of therapy will depend on a patient's income. Therapy will have to be paid for out of pocket if insurance doesn't cover it. The cost of therapy will be lower if a patient's income is lower. The cost will be higher if the patient...
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....
Introduction: Sliding scale insulin (SSI) therapy remains a common means of insulin therapy in long-term care (LTC) for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, despite current recommendations not supportive of the form of therapy today. Lack of randomized trial data on the efficacy and ...
