NCT ID NCT07451015
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a carbohydrate drink (yogurt with honey) before elective abdominal surgery is safe and helpful for people with type 2 diabetes. 120 patients were split into three groups: non-diabetic controls, non-diabetic with the drink, and diabetic with the drink. Researchers measured stomach emptying with ultrasound and tracked blood sugar, recovery, and hospital stay to see if the drink reduces surgical stress.
