There is increasing evidence that maintaining normoglycaemia and treatment with insulin or with glucose-insulin-potassium GIK even in non-diabetic persons is helpful in limiting organ damage after myocardial infarction stroke traumatic brain injury and other conditions even though the conditions may be accompanied by insulin resistance. A landmark study now suggests that maintaining normoglycaemia with intensive insulin treatment in a heterogeneous population of critically ill patients decreases morbidity and mortality. The potential mechanisms that underlie such a beneficial effect are discussed. Keywords apoptosis pathways critically ill insulin ischaemia reperfusion stress hyperglycaemia Intensive care unit patients often have complex disorders. For instance bouts of inflammation trauma and ischaemia reperfusion may occur sequentially or synchronously in patients following surgery sepsis or shock thereby upregulating inflammatory and metabolic responses including cytokine release protein breakdown and insulin resistance 1-4 .
