Although the reasons for these failures are not entirely clear we suggest the use of a stepwise approach - Safe Effective Glucose Control - that will essentially target an intermediate blood glucose level. As compared with genuine tight glucose control Safe Effective Glucose Control - already used in many intensive care units worldwide - is intended to decrease the rate of hypoglycemia and the workload while reducing the adverse effects of severe hyperglycemia. In 2001 following in the path of the glycemic pioneers 1-3 the Leuven 1 investigators published their landmark study of intensive insulin therapy in a population of surgical intensive care unit ICU patients targeting 80 to 110mg dl in the interventional arm 4 . This prospective controlled randomized trial spurred clinicians in ICUs around the world to adopt tight glycemic control TGC 5 . Confirmation of the mortality benefit of TGC in a mixed medical-surgical ICU setting was seen in the nonrandomized Stamford study published nearly 3 years later 6 7 . An additional 2 years elapsed until the publication of the Leuven II study performed in a medical ICU which demonstrated reduced mortality in the predefined .
