NCT03244241

Brief Summary

Hyperglycemia during admission is associated with increased rate of complications and longer hospital stays, thus insulin treatment is recommended for all diabetes patients with hyperglycemia. Inpatient studies of non-critically ill patients show better glycemic control with the use of basal-bolus insulin therapy compared to sliding scale insulin therapy, but increased rates of hypoglycemia. The investigators hypothesize that basal-bolus insulin therapy with a new ultra-long-action basal insulin can treat hyperglycemia more efficiently than sliding scale insulin, with few episodes of hypoglycemia.
