title: Perioperative glucose control: does it really matter?
abstract: Perioperative management of the patient with diabetes presents unique challenges. The benefit of glycemic control must be balanced against the danger of hypoglycemia. Through a clear understanding of the hormonal and metabolic alterations that accompany surgery, as well as careful glucose monitoring, the diabetic can be safely and effectively managed during the perioperative period.
