Insulin Clinical Pearls Self-mixing Clear before cloudy Vials of cloudy insulin must be gently rolled 10 – 20 times to mix solution Rotate injection sites to avoid lipodystrophy I:CHO Ratio Specifies how many grams of CHO are “covered” by 1 unit of insulin Example: 1:40 1 unit of insulin covers 40 g of CHO Calculation 500 / Total Daily Dose (TDD) Example: Patient is on 20 units of insulin daily, what is the I:CHO ratio? If the patient eats 50 g of CHO, how much insulin should be administered? Correction or Sensitivity Factor Specifies how many points the blood glucose will drop per unit of insulin 1800 rule used for analog insulin 1500 rule used for regular insulin Calculation Sensitivity factor (SF) = 1800 / TDD May vary depending on time of day Insulin Pens Carry insulin in a self-contained cartridge Advantages Portable, discreet, convenient Pre-filled (time-saver) Accurate dosing Disadvantages May be more expensive No all types of insulin are available Cannot be mixed Recommended to rotate injection sites Insulinpens.com Inpatient Use of Insulin Pens Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) Recognized ongoing safety concerns and recommends hospitals to reexamine policies regarding insulin pens for routine use Safety concerns Increase risk of infection when pens are used for multiple patients 2013: New York hospital may have exposed patients to HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C because of the reuse of pens after changing the disposable needle Risk of needle stick injuries User technique errors ISMP Medication Safety Alert Volume 18 (3), February 2013 Pen Exceptions?

Diabetes Care Volume 39, Supplement 1, January 2016 Normoglycemia in Intensive Care Evaluation – Survival Using Glucose Algorithm Regulation (NICE-SUGAR) Meta-analysis of over 26 studies looking at optimal blood glucose ranges for critically ill patients Intensive glucose control (BG 81 – 108 mg/dL) vs. conventional glucose control (≤ 180 mg/dL) Primary end point: death from any cause within 90 days after randomization Included 6104 patients N Engl J Med 2009;360:1283-97. 3054 intensive control 3012 conventional control NICE-SUGAR Trial Intensive Glucose Control Conventional Glucose Control 829 (27.5%) patients died 751 (24.9%) patients died 206 (6.8%) patients had severe hypoglycemia 15 (0.5%) patients had severe hypoglycemia Results • Death was not statistically significant different between treatment groups • The treatment effect was not statistically different between surgical and medical patients • Severe hypoglycemia was statistically significant (P < 0.001) • No significant different in number of days in ICU or hospital • No significant different in number of mechanical ventilation days N Engl J Med 2009;360:1283-97. NICE-SUGAR Conclusions Intensive glucose control increased mortality in critically ill adults with a number need to harm of 38 Deaths from cardiovascular causes was more common in the intensive control group Severe hypoglycemia was more common with intensive glucose control BG < 180 mg/dL resulted in lower mortality than a target of 81 – 108 mg/dL in critically ill adult patients N Engl J Med 2009;360:1283-97.
