Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a very common condition in the general population. It is even more common in the surgical inpatient population, due to its many complications leading to an increased need for surgery, particularly vascular, renal and ophthalmic procedures. A foundation doctor may be expected to assess such patients and prepare them for anaesthesia and surgery. What sort of management plan might be required for an obese elderly type 2 diabetic (T2DM) requiring a total knee replacement, or a young type 1 diabetic (T1DM) requiring a laparotomy for inflammatory bowel disease?
