Measure
0.5 Units/kg
Participants randomized to this arm receive a standard-dose of 0.5 units/kg daily insulin. Half of this dose is given as glargine and the other half as glulisine.
0.25 Units/kg
Participants randomized to this arm receive an experimental dose of 0.25 units/kg daily insulin. Half of this dose is given as glargine and the other half as glulisine.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Days

Population: The analysis population for the primary outcome comprises all participants who were randomized and completed all study activities

Participants have their blood glucose measured daily for six days. The average blood glucose measure over all six days is compared between the two treatment cohorts.
