INS and Hyperkalemia: Wheeler et al. investigated using a retrospective chart review to compare the effect of weight-based insulin dosing (0.1 units/kg of body weight up to a maximum of 10 units or weight less than 95 kg), and standard fixed dosing (10 units regardless of body weight) with both groups receiving 50 g of dextrose for treatment of hyperkalemia and measuring endpoint as blood glucose < 70 mg/dL (< 3.9 mmol/L) within 24 h after insulin administration.
