Quick blood sugar fix before surgery may cut risks for diabetics
NCT ID NCT06334068
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether getting blood sugar under control for a short time before major abdominal surgery can lower the chance of problems or death. It included 53 adults with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c of 7.5% or higher) who were scheduled for surgery lasting over 2 hours. The main goal was to see how many days patients spent at home in the 30 days after surgery.
