Summary
What is the efficacy and safety of q 30 minutes vs. q 1hour glucose sampling and intervention
for an intensive insulin protocol to achieve and maintain euglycemia in non-diabetic patients
undergoing craniotomy? The investigators hypothesize that in non-diabetic patients undergoing
craniotomy, monitoring glucose and modifying insulin infusions every 30 minutes compared to
every hour will help them reach target glucose levels faster and maintain them more
efficiently with the same insulin protocol.
