Background: The management of critically ill hyperglycemic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) has been fraught with recent controversy. Only one randomized trial has demonstrated a mortality benefit to intensive glycemic control, with all subsequent studies failing to confirm this benefit and revealing a markedly increased risk of severe hypoglycemia (SH) in intensively treated patients. In most of these trials, adherence to the protocols were neither tracked nor reported.Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients admitted to an ICU who were treated with an insulin infusion directed by the GlucoCare (TM) IGC System, an FDA-cleared insulin-dosing calculator (Yale 100-140 mg/dL protocol). Mean blood glucose (BG) levels, time to target range and incidence of SH (55,000 readings in 1,657 patients, overall incidence of SH was 0.01% of readings and 0.3% of patients. MH occurred in 1.1% of readings and 17.6% of patients. The top potential causes of MH were: (1) Protocol-directed recommendations including continuation of insulin with BG
