Insulin therapy is a critical part of treatment for people with type 1 diabetes and also for many with type 2 diabetes. The goal of insulin therapy is to keep your blood sugar levels within a target range. Insulin is usually injected in the fat under your skin using a syringe, insulin pen or insulin pump tubing. Variable Rate Insulin Infusion. A Variable Rate Intravenous Insulin Infusion (VRIII) is an infusion of insulin, made up in a syringe typically with 50 units of short acting insulin e.g. actrapid in 50ml of normal 0.9% sodium chloride solution (17). This is the same infusion syringe as that used in DKA. Aim To provide guidance on administration of variable rate insulin infusion on adult patients on DCCQ Scope This applies to all adult patients on DCCQ receiving variable rate intravenous insulin infusion. It does not apply to patients requiring fixed rate insulin infusion i.e. patients suffering from diabetic emergencies such as DKA and HHS. One way of accurately and tightly controlling blood glucose levels is with the use of a variable rate intravenous insulin infusion (VRIII). Simply put, this is a method of infusing IV insulin into a patient, at a rate determined by regularly measured capillary blood glucose levels. Patients who were prescribed fixed-rate insulin infusions Fixed dose therapy can apply to people on one injection a day and to people taking multiple injections per day . How does fixed dose insulin therapy work? If you are on a fixed dose insulin therapy, you will take the same amount of insulin at a specific time each day. Fixed dose insulin is used for DKA. This has replaced sliding scale because a fixed rate of insulin because it lowers ketone levels (and therefore the acidosis) faster than a sliding scale (the sliding scale insulin rate drops as the glucose drops and therefore the rate of ketone clearance).

Estimated from the last 6 hours of the variable-rate i.v. insulin. infusion (VRIII): • Divide the total dose of insulin administered in last 6 h of the VRIII. by 6 to calculate average hourly dose of insulin.

Estimated from the last 6 hours of the variable-rate i.v. insulin. infusion (VRIII): • Divide the total dose of insulin administered in last 6 h of the VRIII. by 6 to calculate average hourly dose of insulin. This guideline is for the use of variable rate intravenous insulin infusion (VRIII) in adult inpatients with medical conditions and diabetes/hyperglycaemia, who require intravenous administration of insulin to keep their blood glucose within the recommended target range during an acute illness or a period of starvation.
