The Diabetes Special Interest Group DSIG 1 believes that the data from some of these recent papers have been interpreted incorrectly misconstrued or misunderstood. The DSIG agrees with the scientists whose editorial comments were published with these articles 2 3 that the studies were underpowered to show a lack of benefit and agrees that hypoglycemia below 40 mg dL is an undesirable complication. The incidence of hypoglycemia in these studies compares unfavorably with data from results with the Glucommander which in published data has an overall hypoglycemia rate below 40 mg dL of only 4 and more recently no blood sugar below 40 mg dL was seen in patients on the Glucommander in the cardiovascular ICU 5 . Algorithms for achieving TGC are being continually refined. The target ranges for ICU patients are firmly established in only the post-cardiac surgical population. The DSIG joins others in the hope .
