Measure
Insulin Aspart for BG > 140 mg/dL
Subjects will consist of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and be randomized to receive insulin glargine once daily and insulin aspart divided in three equal doses before meals. Supplemental insulin aspart will be given before meals and at bedtime to subjects with blood glucose (BG) levels \>140 mg/dL.
Insulin Aspart for BG > 260 mg/dL
Subjects will consist of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and be randomized to receive insulin glargine once daily and insulin aspart divided in three equal doses before meals. Supplemental insulin aspart will be given before meals and at bedtime to subjects with blood glucose (BG) levels \>260 mg/dL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 days (average time of discharge from the hospital)

The total number of subjects in which hospital complications occurred prior to discharge will be recorded. These complications will mainly be cases of nosocomial infections, pneumonia, bacteremia, respiratory failure, and acute kidney injury \[rise of serum creatinine \>0.5 mg/dL (or 50%) of baseline value\]. Nosocomial infections will be diagnosed based on standardized Centers for Disease Control (CDC) criteria.
