This is the therapy regimen recommended by guidelines for in-patients.

For geriatric patients with less restrictive blood glucose target values or if therapy with basal insulin is sufficient (e.g. after newly initiated insulin therapy)
The therapy intensity depends on the health status
or manual prescription in the electronic diabetes chart
- Free prescription of insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs, as well as blood glucose target range
- Correction schemes for short-acting insulins depending on blood glucose
- Dose calculation for nurses with safety functions such as active insulin “on board”
- Clear presentation of “open tasks” for physicians and nurses
- Specially adapted procedures for patients who perform self-management on the ward
- Support of verbal orders and confirmation by doctors
