Summary
Volunteers are being invited to take part in a research study about insulin therapy of
diabetes. They are being invited to take part in this research study because they have
diabetes and have an illness requiring hospitalization. If they volunteer to take part in
this study, they will be one of about 120 people to do so. The investigators hope to answer
the following research questions:
- To show that insulin aspart protamine 70/30 mix taken twice daily is as good as insulin
NPH/Reg 70/30 mix taken twice a day for treatment of diabetes after discharge from the
hospital.
- To show how safe the two medicines are (insulin aspart 70/30 mix vs. insulin NPH/Reg
70/30 mix) and how well they work for the treatment of diabetes when transitioning from
inpatient therapy to outpatient care.
