Activity Description

The effective management of diabetes during the perioperative period is essential, given the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the subsequent rise in surgical procedures among individuals with diabetes. Maintaining optimal diabetes control before, during, and after any surgical procedure is paramount for preventing complications. In both diabetic and non-diabetic populations, hyperglycemia during the perioperative period serves as an independent marker of adverse surgical outcomes. In addition, hyperglycemia elevates morbidity and mortality risks, including delayed wound healing, an increased rate of infection, ICU admissions, prolonged hospital stays, and higher postoperative mortality.

The stress induced by surgery, anesthesia, and illness leads to heightened secretion of counterregulatory hormones, such as cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone, and catecholamines. Consequently, this process reduces insulin secretion and peripheral glucose utilization, elevates insulin resistance, and increases lipolysis and proteolysis. This activity focuses on using diverse antidiabetic medicines, introduces strategies to achieve optimal glycemic targets, and underscores the significance of an interprofessional healthcare team approach in delivering care to diabetic patients during the perioperative period. This activity also provides healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and tools to deliver optimal care for individuals with diabetes mellitus undergoing surgical procedures.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify diabetic patients at risk by recognizing key factors, such as type of diabetes, glycemic control, and susceptibility to hypoglycemia, during preoperative assessment.

  • Assess the effectiveness of diverse antidiabetic medications and glycemic targets in preventing complications.

  • Apply standardized protocols and algorithms to ensure accurate and timely adjustments to insulin regimens, considering individual patient needs.

  • Collaborate with the interprofessional healthcare team to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care for diabetic patients throughout the perioperative period.
