[Comparative effectiveness of the treatment od patients with hyperglycemic coma in diabetes mellitus with small and large doses of insulin]

Abstract

The results of the study involving 123 patients suffering from hyperglycemic diabetic coma lead to the conclusion on ineffectiveness of high-dose insulin. Treatment of hyperglycemic coma by low-dose insulin is more preferable as warranting continuous decrease of glycemia without its transformation into hypoglycemia, ++post-hypoglycemia hyperglycemia, brain edema.
