Overview
Our study was a single-blind, randomised, controlled, multicentre study. The study was planned to include 140 patients admitted to the general ward for subcutaneous insulin therapy, who were randomly divided into two groups in the ratio of 1:1, one group with an artificial intelligence assisted insulin dosimetry system to adjust the insulin dose to control their blood glucose, and the other group with a physician instituted insulin dosimetry adjustments to control their blood glucose. The effectiveness and safety of the system was confirmed by comparing the glycaemic control and risk of adverse events between the two groups.
