According to Centers for Disease Control data, the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the United States in 2015 was 30.3 million and is predicted to increase yearly with an already prediabetic population of 84 million. The prevalence of diabetes is highest in the Alaska Native and Native American populations, followed by African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Whites. Diabetes can cause a lot of complications, not only in the long run but also during acute hyperglycemic events. It has been found that hyperglycemia during surgical interventions may impair the healing process, increase infections, and lengthen hospital stays. Overall morbidity and mortality can increase by 50%, necessitating tight glycemic control during operations. This activity reviews the intraoperative management of diabetes and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing patients with diabetes mellitus.
