The DIVINE Study: DIetary Management of Glucose VarIability iN thE ICU

Glucose variability - Number of glycemic events between 80-110 mg/dl and 150-180 mg/dl

Number of glycemic events between 80-110 mg/dl and 150-180 mg/dl

Time frame: First seven days in the ICU

Glucose variability - Number of episodes of hypoglycemia (glucose < 80 mg/dl)

Number of episodes of hypoglycemia (glucose \< 80 mg/dl)

Time frame: First seven days in the ICU

Glucose variability - Number of episodes of hyperglycemia (glucose > 180 mg/dl)

Number of episodes of hyperglycemia (glucose \> 180 mg/dl)

Time frame: First seven days in the ICU

Glucose variability - Average glucose levels

Average glucose levels

Time frame: First seven days in the ICU
