Is There an Association Between Nighttime Correction Scale Insulin and Morning Hypoglycemia in Hospitalized Patients?

ABSTRACT: Background: Correction scale insulin therapy is commonly used in hospitals. There is limited data evaluating the relationship between correction scale administration timing and morning hypoglycemic episodes. Objective: To evaluate the association between morning hypoglycemic episodes in patients who receive their correction scale insulin before meals (AC) or before meals and at bedtime (ACHS). Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, cohort study of hospitalized patients with a history of diabetes receiving at least 1 long-acting insulin agent.
