Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the early initiation of a long acting insulin
(i.e. glargine) with supplemental doses of short acting regular (SSR) insulin in hospitalized
patients with diabetes who are fed using tube feedings reduces the frequency of high and low
blood sugar levels when compared to use of SSR insulin alone.
