Measure
Multiple Subcutaneous Injection (MSI)
Multiple Subcutaneous Injection (MSI) group will receive four insulin injections per day that will include a long acting and a short acting insulin. Short acting insulin will be either insulin aspart or insulin lispro. Insulin Glargine: 0.20 units/kg body weight Insulin Aspart: 0.20 units/kg body weight Insulin Lispro: 0.20 units/kg body weight
Basal Insulin (BI)
Basal Insulin (BI) group will receive only one injection of insulin glargine in the morning. Insulin Glargine: 0.40 units/kg body weight
