Hence, when blood glucose exceeds 215 mg/dl (11.9 mmol/l) on two consecutive measurements with 4-h interval (or one measurement in type 1 diabetics), the alert indicates to administer insulin; when it drops below 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l), the alert advises to stop insulin administration (or at least taper down in type 1 diabetics). Here, INS is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
