Comparing two insulin infusion methods for diabetic ICU adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving insulin through an IV to adults with diabetes in the intensive care unit to find which works better for controlling blood sugar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult admitted to the ICU with a serious or life-threatening condition.
- You have diabetes or high blood sugar, shown by an HbA1C level above 6.0.
- You are not currently in diabetic ketoacidosis (a severe complication of diabetes).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not in a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (a diabetic emergency with severe dehydration).

This study compares two types of blood tests (from a vein and an artery) to see if they give similar information about oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes. The results may help doctors choose the best way to monitor patients in the ICU.
This study looks at how well continuous glucose monitors (small sensors under the skin that track sugar levels) work in ICU patients who need insulin. If you are in the ICU, on insulin, and already have a sensor, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a continuous glucose monitoring system (Syai Tag) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see how well it measures blood sugar levels safely compared to standard methods.
This trial tests whether using your own continuous glucose monitor (CGM) while you are in the hospital (but not the ICU) can help better manage your blood sugar levels. If you already use a CGM at home and are admitted for at least two days, you may be able to keep using it during your stay.
This trial is testing two ways of monitoring blood sugar in intensive care patients: continuous monitoring (a sensor) versus intermittent checks. If you are in the ICU with high blood sugar and on IV insulin, this study might help find a better way to manage your levels.
This study compares two ways of deciding how much insulin to give with meals in the hospital. One method counts carbohydrates, while the other uses a fixed dose. The goal is to see which method controls blood sugar better.
