*Dosing depends on the patient's level of insulin resistance. The high dose regimen should be reserved for the severely insulin resistant patients.
*The example sliding scales are for regular insulin with blood glucose (BG) measured in mg/dL
*Patients with renal insufficiency will excrete insulin at a lower rate and should be started on a lower dosing regimen.
