Insulin and Glucose Dataset

Dataset of Insulin and Glucose Administered and Blood Glucose Levels over Time for 21 ICU Patients

Overview

Records were collected in the Intensive Care Unit at University Hospital Galway. Over the time period for data collection, 21 patients had the following characteristics:

  • Sepsis as a primary diagnosis
  • Non-diabetic
  • Not receiving steroids
  • No major organ failure
