INS and Hypoglycemia: The American College of Endocrinology (ACE) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Task Force on Inpatient Glycemic Control recommend fasting blood glucose (BG) level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) and a random BG level less than 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L), without excess hypoglycemia, for the majority of non-critically ill patients treated with insulin.
