INS and diabetes mellitus: Consensus statements among organizations of health care professionals involved in inpatient diabetes care (e.g. American Diabetes Association, The Endocrine Society) as well as artificial nutrition (e.g. European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism [ESPEN], American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition [ASPEN]), recommend a blood glucose target of 7.8 to 10.0 mmol/L (140 to 180 mg/dL) for the majority of patients treated with insulin (20–23).
