Excerpt

Insulin infusions over 2 U/hour can suppress endogenous insulin secretion in healthy subjects 30 to 45% [1]. Virtually all tight glycemic control (TGC) protocols deliver insulin via infusion. This study examines the impact of bolus delivery of insulin in TGC on the endogenous insulin secretion of critically ill patients. …
