Management of the Patient with Diabetes in the Perioperative Period

With the ever-increasing number of patients with diabetes undergoing surgical procedures, effective perioperative management of diabetes mellitus has become progressively more important.

We also discuss complications of diabetes mellitus, particularly where these directly compromise patient health and interventional outcomes.
