Brief Summary

To asses the effectiveness of implementing a diabetes management protocol (early insulinization, avoiding use of SSI) in a hearth hospital's non-intensive care unit.

Detailed Description

Management of diabetes in patients admitted to non-intensive unit of a cardiology hospital in order to reduce the number of episodes of hypo-and hyperglycemia, improve glucose control and reducing the number of hospital days.
