Dynamic insulin administration according to the current blood glucose and the direction of change since the previous measurement [according to (49)].

Blood glucose Insulin infusion rate [mL/h] Insulin concentration
[mmol/L] [mg/dL]
<4.0 <72 Decrease by 1.0 If rate becomes ≤0.5 mL/h: Halve concentration and restart at 0.5 mL/h
4.0-6.9 72-125 Decrease by 0.5
7.0-10.9 126-197 Same rate
11.0-15.0 198-270 If lower than previous test: Same rate If rate becomes ≥4.5 mL/h: Double concentration and restart at 2.5 mL/h
If higher than previous test: Increase by 0.5
>15.0 >270 If lower than previous test: Same rate
If higher than previous test: Increase by 1.0
