The diabetes group have a higher baseline score among the glycemic groups (p>0.05). Stress hyperglycemia group has a slow progression of score from baseline compared to the diabetes group (p<0.020). Conclusion: In conclusion of our study showed that the stress hyperglycemics had poor recovery on NIHSS scores for both medium and large sized infarcts from the baseline score.
