Abstract
Perioperative management of blood glucose is vital to the recovery and return to normal life for patients with diabetes undergoing ambulatory surgery. Important aspects of the preoperative assessment include the evaluation of the patient's usual level of control and self-management skills and the occurrence of hypoglycemia. There are disputes on the perioperative administration of diabetes medications, insulin, and certain other drugs. This article will provide information on current recommendations for ambulatory surgery and anesthesia for diabetic patients. It will address controversies and reemphasize important points of optimal care. New drugs and technologies for diabetes patients that may impact the perioperative period will be described.
