Figure 1From: Comparison of a nurse initiated insulin infusion protocol for intensive insulin therapy between adult surgical trauma, medical and coronary care intensive care patients Individual profiles of blood glucose of patients who underwent insulin infusion-STICU. Individual profiles of blood glucose of patients who underwent insulin infusion after admission to the STICU, n = 162 (fuchsia lines) along with the predicted level of blood glucose (solid line). The predicted level of blood glucose is based on the mathematical model below where time is measured in days since the start of insulin infusion: Blood glucose (mg/dL) = exp(5.1030 - 0.3023*time + 0.0640*time*time).Back to article page
