8. Outcome/Goal:
Maintain good to optimal glucose control throughout the
hospitalization period
without causing hypoglycemia
Titrate DAILY
Don’t do nothing … Inertia breeds inertia!
Treat Hyperglycemia using pt. history, patient
condition, calculations, and BG results
Korytkowski, Mary MD Professor of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine 3-2011
9. In the APACHE II trial . . .
“even a
single episode of severe hypoglycemia
conferred an increased risk of mortality.”
10. Hypoglycemia Order Set on CIS
Every time you order insulin …
order the Hypoglycemia Order Set
11. Obtain patient weight in kg
T2DM: Calculate Total Daily Dose (TDD) as
0.2 to 0.5 units per kg/day
(0.4 is this CDE’s safety #)
*WILL NEED MORE INSULIN IF TAKING STEROIDS
WILL NEED LESS INSULIN IF TYPE 1DIABETES
Choose the dosing schedule
Give 50% of TDD as Basal Insulin
Give 50% of TDD as Bolus Insulin (premeal or nutritional) and
divide by 3 – for 3 meals
Adjust according to results of BGM
Adjust dose for NPO status or changes in clinical status

What are BG goals for MSKCC non-critical hospitalized
patient?
FBG: 90 to 150 mg/dl
ac and HS: 90 to 180 mg/dl
13. John: T2DM x 5 years. Wgt = 150 Kg. BMI 42.00
Takes 3 oral diabetes meds at home. HBA1c = 9.4 % .
Admitted to MSKCC for newly Dx Prostate Cancer
First, D/C all oral diabetes medication
Pt. with uncontrolled diabetes
Pt. is overweight – high BMI = Insulin Resistance
WGT = 150 Kg. Pt is naive to insulin.
150 Kg x 0.05 units/Kg = 75 units (TDD- Total Daily Dose)
Divide TDD by 2 for Basal/Bolus = 37 Basal and 37 Bolus
Divide the Bolus of 37 units by 3 meals = 12.3 units
Calculation = 37 units Lantus at HS
Target BG = 100 to 149 mg/dL
14. Did you know that there are only 2
doses of Insulin????
Enough
and
Not Enough
15. Let’s think … Insulin naïve – feels like a high dose –
maybe scale back a little – make sure pt is eating!

19. Steroid-Induced Hyperglycemia
Think … Insulin … Insulin, …Insulin
David Baldwin, MD – Endocrinologist at Rush Institute in Chicago
Managing Hyperglycemia in Special Situations:
What are the Pitfalls of QAM Prednisone?
1. Prednisone only raises the blood glucose for ~ 18 hours (in system about 36-48 hrs)
2. Generally sulfonylureas or metformin will have no effect on steroid-exacerbated
hyperglycemia
• Lantus (Glargine) will usually outlast QAM prednisone and so BG in the PM may
be ok … but fasting BG in the AM will be hypoglycemic
______________________________________________________________________
Managing Hyperglycemia in Special Situations:
Best Solution to the Pitfalls of QAM Prednisone
• The Pharmacokinetic profiles of:
QAM prednisone and QAM NPH insulin are very similar.
• Therefore the safest and most efficacious therapy for hyperglycemia in patients
treated with QAM prednisone is NPH and rapid-acting analog QAM and rapid-
acting analog QPM
• Avoid Lantus (Glargine) or sulfonylureas
20. Jeff: 59 years; lung cancer. SOB. Wgt 96 Kg. T2DM: Takes
Metformin and Glimepiride at home. HBA1c = 8.8 %.
BGs running in 230+ . Ordered Prednisone 20 mg BID.
(The same rules would apply for Methylprednisolone)

21. A few hints:
Know your target and work daily to get there!
Titrate Insulin Daily
If pt. on insulin at home – order ½ their doses to start
and titrate daily.
Routine insulin calculation: 0.04 to 0.05 units/Kg/day
Steroids: 0.07 units/Kg/day
Renal Failure: 0.3 units/Kg/day
Type 1 Diabetes or Pump: 0.1 or 0.15 or 0.2 (Call endocrine)
If YOU are not comfortable with the dose, go lower !
Please keep re-assessing your pt. Keep in mind the pt.
condition, eating status, NPO, BG targets, titrate daily.
