The mortality of diabetes mellitus in Nigeria remains high despite attempts at “tight glycemic control” using diet, life style modification, oral hypoglycemic and insulin. Reported attainment of glycemic control is at times as low as 15%. The result of the failure in meeting glycemic control targets has taken in toll on the life of Nigerians and stretched our meager resources to the limits due to frequent admissions as a result hyperglycemic emergencies.
