Summary

This study will use ultrasound to measure stomach volume after standard fasting in 220 diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if current fasting guidelines are safe for people with diabetes, who may have slower stomach emptying. Results could help tailor preoperative fasting recommendations.
