Management of diabetic ketoacidosis in adult inpatients: A retrospective analysis of rates of hypoglycaemia with variable‐rate and fixed‐rate intravenous insulin infusion protocols

There were similar rates of hypoglycaemia between VRIII and FRIII protocols; however, FRIII was associated with higher rates of early hypoglycaemia. Although time to resolution of ketosis was similar, VRIII was associated with longer hospital length of stay and time on insulin infusion. Further research is needed to determine the optimal insulin infusion regimen.
