Summary:A recent consensus report on hyperglycemic crises included recommendations for calculating the subcutaneous insulin dose when transitioning from intravenous insulin. In 95 patients admitted for hyperosmolar hyperglycemic crisis, there were no significant differences in post-transition glycemic control between patients who met the consensus recommendations and those who did not. •Post-transition glycemic control may not be better when recommendations are followed.•Consensus recommendations for transition should be applied with caution.•Additional variables should be considered to perform the transition.
