Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia are critical considerations in
the perioperative management of surgical patients. Elevated blood glucose
levels can lead to complications including increased infection risk, delayed
wound healing, and other adverse surgical outcomes. This article aims to
discuss the importance of effective perioperative management strategies
for diabetic patients, including preoperative assessment, intraoperative
care, and postoperative protocols. We explore the latest evidence-based
practices for optimizing glycemic control, the role of insulin therapy, and
the implications of different surgical procedures on blood glucose levels.
Emphasis is placed on tailoring these management strategies based on
patient individualization to mitigate risks and enhance surgical outcomes.
