Summary
Optimal glycaemic control in surgical patients with diabetes is crucial. This review explores how continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery can simplify and enhance perioperative diabetes management.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Surgical Management
- Diabetes Care
Background:
- Diabetes mellitus increases surgical complications and hospital stay.
- Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols aim to mitigate surgical impact on glucose homeostasis.
- Current perioperative diabetes management guidelines are complex and evidence limitations exist, especially for newer oral antidiabetic drugs.
Conclusions:
- There is a need for simplified and evidence-based perioperative diabetes management strategies.
- Continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems show promise for optimizing perioperative glucose control.
- Technology integration could enhance patient outcomes and streamline care for diabetic surgical patients.
