Seek expert advice.
As for DKA except:
An example insulin infusion rate is presented below. Check with local guidelines.
blood glucose | insulin rate (u/hour) |
>20 | 3 |
13-20 | 2 |
5-13 | 1 |
<5 | 0.5 |
If the blood glucose has not fallen by 10mmol/l after the first 2 hours of treatment then the infusion rate should be doubled.
