Abstract

The overall approach of modulating insulin and nutrition challenges the current practice of using only insulin to reduce glycaemic levels, which often results in large variability and poor control. The results show extremely tight control within safe glycaemic bands, and are meet or exceed other published results, but with a more critically ill cohort. The system could be readily adopted in any typical ICU. Figure 1: Feed and Insulin Wheels with instructions
