Insulin glargine dose titration algorithm and monitoring

Insulin dose titration algorithm	If self-monitored fasting BG for 2 consecutive days with no severe hypoglycemia:
	> 8.9 mmol/l (> 160 mg/dl)	Add 8 IU/day
	>7.8 to ≤ 8.9 mmol/L(>140 to ≤160 mg/dl)	Add 6 IU/day
	>6.7 to ≤ 7.8 mmol/L(>120 to ≤140 mg/dl)	Add 4 IU/day
	>5.5 to ≤ 6.7 mmol/L(>100 to ≤120 mg/dl)	Add 2 IU/day
	5.5 mmol/l (≤100 mg/dl)	No further
