Insulin Start is a tool that helps you start a hospitalized patient on insulin based on their weight, home insulin doses, or recent intravenous insulin infusion doses. It guides through the process using an intuitive interface that ends with suggesting a clear plan of insulins and doses to use. It makes it easier to do the right thing and avoid using sliding scale insulin alone to manage your patients hyperglycaemia.

Insulin Start is intended for medical professionals.

It is based on the 2013 Clinical Practice Guidelines by the Canadian Diabetes Association.
