“…Actually, the evidence from literature about glycemic thresholds in hospitalized patients is controversial [126]. These aspects have been partially investigated [127,128], mainly in the setting of the intensive care unit [129], but randomized clinical trials with a great number of patients coupling with a tight glycemic control are still lacking. diabetes warranted a better glucose control and consequently a lower rate of complications than sliding scale insulin [4].…”

“…All laboratory values were from morning fasting blood tests, which are routinely drawn between 0400 and 0630. We selected BG > 110 mg/dl to define hyperglycemia in this patient population based on studies in critical care that have shown increased risk for adverse outcomes in patients at this glycemic level (Joshi, Patel, Wert, Parvathaneni, & Cheriyath, 2014;Scuteri et al, 2014). We defined hypoglycemia as BG <70 mg/dl and increased glycemic variability as an SD of individual BG measures !29 mg/dl (Hammer et al, 2009).…”
