The positive impact of a multidisciplinary preoperative diabetes clinic on improving glycaemic management in adults undergoing elective noncardiac surgery
The multidisciplinary clinic was effective in improving participants' glycaemic control before elective noncardiac surgery. Individuals with the highest baseline HbA<sub>1c</sub> levels had the greatest preoperative improvement. This study highlights the meaningful impact on glycaemic management that can be achieved in the preoperative period. Parts of this work were previously presented at the 13th Australasian Symposium of the Perioperative Medicine Special Interest Group in collaboration with Summit III and the Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI), 22-24 November 2024, Melbourne, Australia.
