Management 3.1 Insulin There is sme evidence that cerebral edema is assciated with early insulin administratin. Start sluble insulin at units/kg/hr 1 hur after starting IV fluids. Aim t reduce the bld glucse n faster than 5mmls/hr. Once bld glucse <14mml/l add 5% glucse t IV fluids. If bld glucse falls t <4mml/l give 2mls/kg 10% glucse & increase glucse cntent f IV fluids t 10%. Insulin infusin rate can be temprarily reduced (fr 1hr) but shuld be cntinued at units/kg/hr t switch ff ketgenesis.
