Insulin for Glycemic Control in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 43:e29, Bellolio,M.F.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
With the current evidence, we found that the administration of intravenous insulin with the objective of maintaining serum glucose within a specific range in the first hours of acute ischemic stroke does not provide benefit in terms of functional outcome, death, or improvement in final neurological deficit and significantly increased the number of hypoglycemic episodes.
