Common questions
What does Glucose Control in Critically Ill Patients do?
Use in the ICU to select a blood-glucose target band and decide when to start IV insulin infusion, with attention to avoiding hypoglycemia.
How is the result calculated?
Target generally 140–180 mg/dL (7.8–10.0 mmol/L) for most critically ill; start IV insulin infusion when glucose is persistently > 180 mg/dL; avoid tight control (80–110) due to hypoglycemia harm; monitor frequently.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
