Is Hyperglycaemia an Independent Predictor of Poor Outcome After Acute Stroke? Results of a Long Term Follow Up Study
BMJ 314:1303-1306, Weir,C.J.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Plasma glucose concentration above 8 mmol/l after acute stroke predicts a poor prognosis after correcting for age,stroke severity,and stroke subtype.Raised plasma glucose concentration is therefore unlikely to be solely a stress response and should arguably be treated actively.A randomised trial is warranted.
