Summary
This study will examine two questions: 1. Whether insulin treatment of high blood sugar in
patients with diabetes while they are in the emergency room will improve how quickly they
recover from illness if they need to be hospitalized. 2. Whether immediately beginning long
lasting insulin detemir in patients with diabetes when they are admitted to hospital from the
emergency room will improve how quickly they recover from the illness which necessitated
hospitalization.
