Abstrakt: Several clinical scenarios mandate the use of an IV insulin infusion (often informally referred to as an ˵insulin drip″). Any inpatient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requires an IV insulin infusion for proper management; simply continuing subcutaneous injections is not the standard of care in the hospital. Also, a patient with hyperosmolar nonketotic hyperglycemia should be initially managed with IV insulin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
