Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Basal-Prandial-Correctional Insulin RegimenExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants hospitalized in the medical, hematologic, or bone marrow transplant units will begin with basal long-acting insulin glargine with correctional and prandial rapid-acting insulin that is personalized and precise, to achieve target blood glucose levels with daily assessments during hospitalization. Adjustments will be made in real time to reach the target range.
Group II: Standard of Care Insulin RegimenActive Control1 Intervention
Participants hospitalized in the medical, hematologic, or bone marrow transplant units' blood sugar levels will be managed with sliding scale insulin or a combination of long- and short-acting insulin as per standard of care.
