First described in 1934, what physicians typically refer to as sliding-scale insulin (SSI) is fast- or rapid-acting insulin only, given subcutaneously, typically at meal times and sometimes bedtime, but only when blood glucose is above a threshold (e.g. 10&nbsp;mmol/L, 180&nbsp;mg/dL). The so-called "sliding-scale" method is widely taught, although it has been heavily criticized. Sliding scale insulin (SSI) is not an effective way of managing long-term diabetes in individuals residing in nursing homes. Sliding scale insulin leads to greater discomfort and increased nursing time.</div>FuzzyBot
