Comparing two insulin infusion protocols for diabetic patients in ICU

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to improve blood sugar control in critically ill diabetic adults admitted to the ICU by comparing the efficacy of two intravenous insulin infusion protocols: one from the NHS in the UK and another developed by Suez Canal University (SCU). Patients will be randomly assigned to either the SCU or NHS protocol, with blood glucose levels monitored and managed according to the respective guidelines. The study will assess which protocol better achieves target glycemic control in this vulnerable patient population.
