title: Management of diabetes medications for patients undergoing ambulatory surgery.
abstract: A stress-free actively managed perioperative experience is crucial to successful ambulatory surgery for diabetes patients. Practitioners who integrate diabetes treatment regimens into their perioperative management can facilitate a good outcome, smooth recovery, and rapid return to normal life. Hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucose variability must be avoided and patients should be maintained near their usual blood glucose.
