Endocrine problems in the critically ill 1: diabetes and glycaemic control. Elizabeth Kerr, Deborah et al. BJA Education, Volume 17, Issue 11, 370-376

  • Dysglycaemia occurs frequently in critical illness, both in diabetic and in non-diabetic patients, often reflecting underlying disease severity
  • Aggressive insulin therapy may be harmful and is associated with an increased incidence of severe hypoglycaemia; therefore, a pragmatic approach to glycaemic control is necessary
  • Hypoglycaemia is common, and the clinical features are frequently masked in critical illness
  • Immediate insulin therapy is not indicated in the hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) and may precipitate cardiovascular collapse
  • A mixed picture of diabetic ketoacidosis and HHS can occur; treatment should be directed at the predominant element
