Robert S. Sherwin (1977) conducted an editorial in Diabetic ketoacidosis. Low-dose continuous insulin infusion vs. Intermittent high doses (100 to 200 units) was evaluated. Low-dose continuous insulin infusion (4 to 8 units per hour) has been documented in recent reports to be effective for treating diabetic ketoacidosis compared to traditional intermittent high doses.
