A rapid and simple method to control hyperglycaemia.

A simple and rapid method of controlling hyperglycaemia is described. This method involves giving soluble insulin/monocomponent insulin every two hours subcutaneously till the blood sugar falls below 200 mg%, by monitoring blood sugar every 2 hours. The time taken and insulin given to control hyperglycaemia thus gives an indication as to the amount of insulin needed by the patient for 24 hours to keep the diabetes under control.
