Summary

This study looked at how closely Danish hospitals followed official guidelines for managing diabetes in patients having major surgery between 2017 and 2023. Researchers reviewed records from 22,000 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who had non-cardiac surgery lasting at least one hour. The main goal was to see if doctors gave the right amount of insulin when patients' blood sugar was too high, as recommended by the guidelines.
