title: [Guidelines for the management of hyperglycaemia in hospitalised adult patients].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim was to prepare guidelines for the management of in-hospital hyperglycaemia in adult patients in intensive care units and regular wards. CONTRIBUTORS: Working group led by two coordinators consists of repre- sentatives of professional societies within the Croatian Medical Association.
  
  
  METHODS
  These guidelines are derived from the guidelines of international professional societies. Level of evidence and strength of recommendation are evaluated according to GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) system. Decision making process: Working group produced Guidelines draft by a consensus. The draft has been delivered to professional societies for review. Final document is accepted by all included societies.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hyperglycaemia is a frequent, serious and demanding complication in hospitalized patients. Results of published studies suggest that its regulation decreases morbidity and mortality. Implementation of locally developed standardized protocols promoting basal-bolus insulin regimen is regarded as the most important measure for management of hyperglycaemia in hospital. Present guidelines are a set of practical, rational and feasible recommendations and suggestions.
