Abstract
A systematic review was undertaken to assess the effect of using insulin therapy in the treatment for stress hyperglycaemia in children without preexisting diabetes in: achieving normoglycaemia, improving symptoms associated with hyperglycaemia and survival, and to determine if any adverse effects were associated with the use of insulin therapy. Conclusion There is currently insufficient evidence for the routine use of insulin therapy in stress hyperglycaemia compared with conventional care in children without preexisting diabetes.
