Hidden danger: prediabetes patients face high blood sugar during surgery
NCT ID NCT07662980
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will track 750 adults with prediabetes who are scheduled for non-cardiac surgery. Researchers will measure their blood sugar levels before, during, and after surgery to see how often high blood sugar occurs. They will also check if high blood sugar is linked to more complications after surgery. The goal is to better understand risks in this group and guide future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better manage blood sugar during and after surgery in patients with prediabetes, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
