SHOrt-term Glycemic Control for Reducing Post-SURGical Complications

Patients will be admitted to the hospital for 2-3 days before surgery. During this pilot study, patients will be admitted to the intermediate care unit to monitor and control preoperative blood glucose. We aim to maintain moderate glucose control (140-180 mg/dl) using the basal-bolus insulin protocol, plus correctional doses as needed.

Patients will be admitted the day before surgery with the usual patient treatment.
