AB The  physiological  regulation  of  blood  glucose  involves  hormonal  and  neural  mechanisms,  resulting  in  a  control  of  glucose  flux  across  cell  membranes.High  glucose  concentrations  are  associated  with  cellular  toxicity.Stress  hyperglycemia  is  a  marker  of  severity  of  illness.Intensive  insulin  therapy  used  to  tightly  control  blood  sugar  was  found  beneficial  in  one  single-center  study,  but  not  in  seven  independent  other  prospective  trials.Current  recommendations  advocate  a  moderate  glucose  control  by  insulin  therapy.
