title: Insulin-dependent diabetes. Its effect on the surgical patient.
abstract: Physicians and nurses need to be aware of the metabolic needs of the diabetic patient and incorporate those requirements into the plan of care during the perioperative period. With appropriate management, morbidity and mortality rates for diabetic patients who undergo surgery may approach those for the nondiabetic population.
