Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Insulin titration protocol
Patients in care at the Division of Endocrinology will be treated by enhanced version of published best paper based practice insulin titration protocol to control glycaemia in hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes.
 Drug: Insulin Aspart, Insulin Glargine
The Intervention is a paper based protocol, which provides suggestions for new insulin doses (basal-bolus regime).
No Intervention: Standard care
Patients in care of the Division of Cardiology will be treated using antihyperglycaemic therapy according to standard care.
