Summary
Hyperglycemia is seen in approximately 30% of patients who do not have a history of diabetes
and undergo general surgery. Hyperglycemia in this setting is associated with increased risk
of postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate risk factors for
developing high sugars during the time of surgery, and if these high sugars can be prevented
by the use of an injectable diabetes medication (dulaglutide) prior to surgery.
