It can increase the risk of both high and low blood sugar and of complications if the person needs surgery. Most doctors advise against using this approach.

To make appropriate and effective insulin dose adjustments, focus on blood glucose trends and identify patterns during the first 2 days of the patient’s hospitalization. Use the sliding scale only as a supplement to correct acute hyperglycemia. To make appropriate and effective insulin dose adjustments, focus on blood glucose trends and identify patterns during the first 2 days of the patient’s hospitalization. The sliding scale helps to stabilise blood sugar levels by adding glucose if levels drop too low, or by adding insulin if your levels rise too high straight into the bloodstream. Sliding-scale regimens can lead to fluctuations in glycemic levels because they do not deliver insulin in a physiological manner nor do they mimic the body’s normal response to insulin. Common sliding scale regimens: Long-acting insulin (glargine/detemir or NPH), once or twice a day with short acting insulin (aspart, glulisine, lispro, Regular) before meals and at bedtime. Long-acting insulin (glargine/detemir or NPH), given once a day.
