Trial Between a Computer-Guided Intravenous Infusion Protocol Versus a Standard Insulin Infusion Algorithm in Medical ICU
The study is a multicenter, prospective, open-label randomized study to compare the safety and efficacy of continuous insulin infusion (CII) via a computer-guided(Glucommander) and a standard paper form protocol among the patients hospitalized in a medical intensive care unit (ICU). .

Conditions
- Diabetes or With New Hyperglycemia
Interventions
- Glucommander
- Standard insulin infusion algorithm
Primary outcomes
- Mean Blood Glucose (BG) in mg/dl Among Glucommander Group Compared to Standard Insulin Infusion — First 10 days of ICU stay
Daily mean blood glucose concentrations during insulin infusion with the Glucommander and a standard paper form insulin infusion algorithm are measured every day up until 10 days and a mean values of these levels are calculated. The Mean blood glucose concentrations are measured once the target blood glucose levels are achieved after admission
