Keywords
Hyperglycemia, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Bone marrow transplant, High blood sugar
Brief summary
To determine whether intensive glucose control results in improved mortality and reduced hospital stay length by performing a randomized trial of intensive glucose management (blood glucose goal 110 mg/dl) using continuous IV insulin and glucose vs. non-intensive glucose management (goal 200 mg/dl)
Detailed description
TO determine whether there are fewer infections, days without a fever, days on antibiotics given for an infection and time to marrow engraftment are improved by intensive glucose management; and to determine whether there is evidence of a reduction in measures of inflammation in patients randomized to intensive glucose management and whether reduction of inflammation is associated with outcome.
Interventions
Use of sliding scale insulin as per Appendix 1
Automated insulin delivery system
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients older than 18 * Must meet standard criteria for HSCT * If patient is known diabetic at admit the may be maintained on home sulfonylurea and insulin if randomized to the conventional arm
Exclusion criteria

Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Arm 1 Regular Sliding Scale Insulin per the following \>400mg/dl = 12 units 351-400mg/dl = 10 units 301-350mg/dl = 8 units 251-300mg/dl = 6 units 200-250mg/dl = 4 units \<200 No insulin | 5 |
| Arm 2 Baseline IV Insulin infusion begins with:
\>220mg/dl - Start at 2 units/hr 110-220mg/dl - Start at 1 unit/hr \<110 - Monitor fingerstick before meals and at bedtime
Sliding Scale IV Insulin adjustments based on:
\>201mg/dl - Increase by 2 units/hr 141-200mg/dl - Increase by 1 unit/hr 111-140mg/dl - Increase by 0.5 units/hr 81 - 110mg/dl - If blood glucose decreases by 15mg/dl or more, reduce drip by 25% 61-80mg/dl - Reduce infusion by 25% \<60 Stop infusion | 6 |
| Total | 11 |
