Abstract
Insulin dose calculation and adjustment to reach an optimum glycemic control is a challenging mission for physicians both as an outpatient and inpatient settings. Those challenges are applied on diabetes mellitus of both type I and II when insulin is indicated. In Alberta, Canada a new Basal Bolus Insulin Therapy (BBIT) guideline for adults with diabetes mellitus was established to make calculating and adjusting Insulin dose easier for all medical staff including physicians, pharmacists and nurses to accomplish a good glycemic target for inpatients in all acute facilities (hospitals) in Alberta. In this presentation I will discuss this new guideline and how it makes glycemic control by calculating and dose adjustment easier to reduces the risk of errors in administering bolus and basal insulin. To apply this guideline we need collaborative efforts of all medical staff involved in patient’s management.
