Question:

Answers:
best answer: keep his blood sugar in the normal range. Critically ill patients have been shown to fare far better when their blood sugar is kept in the normal range with a constant infusion of insulin. There is no perfect dose of insulin for anyone based upon their age, weight, or length of time they have had diabetes. Just something you have to base upon blood sugar readings and amount of carbohydrates you eat.
