Summary

This study compares stomach volume in 220 diabetic and non-diabetic patients before surgery to check if standard fasting guidelines are safe for everyone. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure residual stomach contents after fasting. The goal is to see if diabetes affects how quickly the stomach empties, which could change preoperative fasting recommendations.
