Reports linking hyperglycemia to severity of brain injury and outcome can be traced back to at least 40 years (2). This has led to the recent momentum behind implementing aggressive glucose control in critically ill children. However, as Elkon et al point out, the complex issues around glucose metabolism in the injured brain question whether hyperglycemia is a feasible therapeutic target in children with TBI. Consistent correlation between hyperglycemia and poor outcome hints at causality. Theoretically, hyperglycemia may worsen brain injury through generation of reactive oxidative species, reduction in cerebral perfusion, activation of postsynaptic glutamate receptors, and exacerbation of blood-brain barrier breakdown (3). Beyond treating the hyperglycemia, preclinical data suggest that insulin may have additional neuroprotective effects unrelated to glucose regulation. However, results from clinical studies using insulin for glucose control
