    YALE INSULIN DRIP PROTOCOL


    The following insulin drip protocol is intended for use in hyperglycemic adult patients in an ICU setting, but is not specifically tailored for
    those individuals with diabetic emergencies, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar states (HHS).
    When these diagnoses are being considered, or if BG 500 mg/dL, an MD should be consulted for specific orders. Also, please notify an
    MD if the response to the insulin drip is unusual/unexpected, or if any situation arises that is not adequately addressed by these guidelines.
    Initiating An Insulin Drip
    1) INSULIN INFUSION: Mix 1 U Regular Human Insulin per 1 cc 0.9 % NaCl. Administer via infusion pump (in increments of 0.5 U/hr).
    2) PRIMING: Flush 50 cc of Insulin/NS drip through all IV tubing, before infusion begins (to saturate the insulin binding sites in the tubing)
    3) TARGET BLOOD GLUCOSE (BG) LEVELS: 100-139 mg/dL
    4) BOLUS & INITIAL INSULIN DRIP RATE: Divide initial BG level (mg/dL) by 100, then round to nearest 0.5 U for bolus AND initial drip rate
    Examples: 1) Initial BG = 325 mg/dL: 325 100 = 3.25, rounded to 3.5: IV bolus 3.5 U + start drip @ 3.5 U/hr.
    2) Initial BG = 174 mg/dL: 174 100 = 1.74, rounded to 1.5: IV bolus 1.5 U + start drip @ 1.5 U/hr.
    Fingerstick (FS) Blood Glucose Monitoring
    1) Check FS hourly until stable (= 3 consecutive values in target range)
    2) Then check FS q 2 hours; once stable x 12-24 hours, FS checks can be spaced to q 4 hours if:
    a) No significant change in clinical condition AND b) No significant change in nutritional intake
    3) If ANY of the following occur, consider the temporary resumption of hourly FS monitoring, until BG is again
    stable (= 2-3 consecutive BG values in target range).
    a) Any change in insulin drip rate (i.e. BG out of target range)
    b) Significant changes in clinical condition
    c) Initiation or cessation of pressor therapy
    d) Initiation or cessation of renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis, CVVH, etc.)
    e) Initiation, cessation, or rate change of nutritional support (TPN, PPN, tube feedings, etc.)
    Changing the Insulin Drip Rate
    If BG < 50 mg/dL:
    D/C INSULIN DRIP

    If BG 50-74 mg/dL:
    D/C INSULIN DRIP

    Give 1 Amp (25 g) D50 IV; recheck BG q 15 minutes


    When BG 100 mg/dL, wait 1 hour, then restart insulin drip at 50% of original rate

    If symptomatic (or unable to assess), give 1 Amp (25 g) D50 IV; recheck BG q 15 minutes
    If asymptomatic, give 1/2 Amp (12.5 g) D50 IV or 8 ounces Juice; recheck BG q 15-30 minutes
    When BG 100 mg/dL, wait 1 hour , then restart drip at 75% of original rate
    Changing the Insulin Drip Rate (contd.)

    If BG 75 mg/dL:
    STEP 1: Determine the CURRENT BG LEVEL - identifies a COLUMN in the table:

    BG 75-99 mg/dL

    BG 100-139 mg/dL

    BG 140-199 mg/dL

    BG 200 mg/dL

    STEP 2: Determine the RATE OF CHANGE from the prior BG level - identifies a CELL in the table - Then move right for INSTRUCTIONS:
    [Note: If the last BG was measured 2-4 hrs before the current BG, calculate the hourly rate of change. Example: If the BG at 2PM was 150 mg/dL and
    the BG at 4PM is now 120 mg/dL, the total change over 2 hours is -30 mg/dL; however, the hourly change is 30 mg/dL 2 hours = -15 mg/dL/hr.]

    BG 75-99 mg/dL

    BG 100-139 mg/dL

    BG by > 25 mg/dL/hr

    BG 140-199 mg/dL

    then DRIP by 2

    restart drip @75% of original rate.
