EXCLUSION CRITERIA Action Rationale DKA / HHS The management of DKA / HHS requires fixed rate intravenous insulin infusion with potentially large volumes of fluid delivered and close attention to the rate of decline in serum glucose. The DKA protocol should be followed for these patients.

Mar 14 2001 Several new insulin formulations provide increased flexibility for glycemic management. Lispro is a genetically engineered derivative of human insulin that has a more rapid onset and higher peak insulin levels compared with regular insulin . Lispro has an onset of action of 10–15 min peak activity at 1 h and duration of action of 3 h after
