Ramos A, et al. - During this study, experts scrutinized the quality of glucose control achieved with basal plus-correction insulin in surgical patients with and without a history of diabetes mellitis (DM) receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). It was observed that insulin total daily dose (TDD) was 0.5 ± 0.3 U/kg/day in patients with DM and 0.37 ± 0.3 units/kg/day in those without DM. Hypoglycemic events were noted in 18 patients, without differences between the groups. Yielded results illustrated that a basal-correction insulin regimen served as an alternative method for managing hyperglycemia in non-critically ill surgical patients on PN.
