Hyperglycemia (plasma glucose > 180 mg/dl) needs to be addressed according to the current consensus recommendations. The maintenance of plasma glucose values between 140 mg/dl and 180 mg/dl is advisable. This may have beneficial effects especially in surgical settings. Control of plasma glucose below 110 mg/dl should not be attempted.

The educational videos and worked examples provided below will provide you the know-how to achieve the same.
