Study Summary
Many hospitals have begun giving insulin to nearly all patients with diabetes while they are in the hospital even if a patient does not use insulin at home. Controlling blood sugar with insulin when a patient is hospitalized is believed to reduce the risk of complications and death, but research has not demonstrated these benefits except in patients who are critically ill. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to evaluate whether such insulin therapy actually does reduce in-hospital complications, deaths, need for intensive care, or length of stay in the hospital.
Primary Outcome
Assigned "y" if patient is transferred to an intensive care unit for any length of time; otherwise, assigned "n".
Interventions
- OTHER Physiologic Insulin Therapy
- OTHER Sliding-Scale Insulin Therapy
