  • people with acute stroke should be treated to maintain a blood glucose concentration between 4 and 11 mmol/litre
  • optimal insulin therapy, which can be achieved by the use of intravenous insulin and glucose, should be provided to all adults with diabetes who have threatened or actual myocardial infarction or stroke. Critical care and emergency departments should have a protocol for such management
