Two insulin methods after surgery to prevent infections in diabetes

This study is testing whether a planned insulin regimen (called basal bolus) works better than an on-demand insulin approach (called sliding scale) after surgery in people with type 2 diabetes. Both methods are already used in hospitals, but researchers want to see which one helps prevent infections at the surgical wound site more effectively.

People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing infections after surgery. Researchers believe that a more planned, proactive approach to managing blood sugar with insulin might reduce this risk compared to the current reactive method.
