Stroke Hyperglycemia Insulin Network Effort (SHINE) Trial

Eligible subjects must be randomized within 12 hours of stroke symptom onset and either have type 2 diabetes and glucose concentrations of over 110 mg/dL or no history of diabetes and glucose concentrations of 150 mg/dL or higher on initial evaluation. The enrolling sites include the Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) sites as well as non NETT sites from all over the United States. The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of targeted glucose control (treatment group - IV insulin with target 80-130 mg/dl) verses control therapy of sub q insulin plus basal insulin with target glucose less than 180 mg/ dL.
