Perioperative Glucose Control in Neurosurgical Patients

Table 3

Reactive regimen (according to monitorized values). The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or plasma glucose can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity (mmol/L).

Glucose value		Insulin dose
mmol/L*	mg/dL^†	IU
≤8.3	≤150	—
8.4–11.1	151–200	5
11.2–13.9	201–250	10
13.93–16.7	251–300	15
16.71–19.4	301–350	20

Exact conversion of glucose values from mg/dL to mmol/L and vice versa are as follows:
*mmol/l = mg/dL × 0.0555,
^†mg/dL = mmol/L × 18.0182
