This reference from the MeisterMed QuickTool series includes recommendations for the appropriate use of insulin to control hyperglycemia in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics whether eating or fasting.   Details when basal insulin should be used and how to use prandial insulin dosing to get better control than with a sliding scale alone.  Adapted from a recent article in the November 2006 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
