Efficacy and Safety of Continuous Intravenous Versus Usual Subcutaneous Insulin in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Summary

Hyperglycaemia is a frequent finding in acute ischemic stroke and associated with poor outcome. But the modalities of glucose lowering are still debated. This study will test the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous insulin protocol versus usual subcutaneous insulin in acute ischemic stroke.
