Perioperative Insulin Regimens in Patients With Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Hospitalized for a Short Time for Minor Eye Surgery.

In this study, we observed that a standardized perioperative insulin regimen efficiently lowered postoperative BG levels. Providing a custom breakfast and a full insulin dose resulted in lower postoperative BG levels. These approaches were not associated with an increase in hypoglycemic events. Physicians and nursing staff gave positive feedback to the structured and well-defined approaches.
