Each indicator can be related to one or more of the following categories blood glucose zones blood glucose levels time intervals and features of the insulin titration algorithm. Some important issues for instance those concerning the clarity of definitions used for glycaemic thresholds are raised. This systematic review calls for a practical guide to advise the clinician how different blood glucose signals should ideally be evaluated and which steps should to be undertaken. In the previous issue of Critical Care Eslami and coworkers 1 review the various outcome measures used to evaluate the quality of blood glucose BG control level of tight glycaemic control TGC in critically ill patients the review considers studies published prior to 2008. We should like to congratulate the authors for their careful search and analysis. They subdivided 30 different indicators into four nonortho-gonal categories BG zones adverse zones versus in-range zones BG levels for example mean BG time intervals for example time within a .
