INS and Hyperglycemia: Gosmanov et al. [13] also found that the basal-bolus regimen is more effective than the SSI regimen for treating steroid-induced hyperglycemia, although the difference in insulin doses between the two groups (49 ± 29 units/day in the SSI group and 122 ± 39 units/day in the basal-bolus group) may have affected the results of their study.
