Independently of a diagnosis of diabetes, most hospitalised patients should therefore maintain blood glucose levels of 5-10 mmol/l (90-180 mg/dl).įor decades, insulin has been the cornerstone in hyperglycaemia treatment of hospitalised patients with diabetes in Denmark and abroad. Glycaemic dysregulation during hospitalisation is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and length of hospital stay.
In Denmark, 10-15% of hospitalised patients have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
