Summary
This study is for people with diabetes who have either healthy kidneys or who have end stage
renal disease (ESRD) and are on hemodialysis that are having surgery. This research will help
increase our knowledge about how having diseased kidneys and being on hemodialysis changes
how the body responds to insulin. In the time period directly before, during, and after
surgery, maintenance of blood sugar within normal physiological range is essential. When
patients come for surgery and have an elevated blood sugar, it is up to each individual
physician to decide on the right amount of insulin to treat them. Currently, there are many
different protocols across the country to treat elevated blood sugar; however, there is no
one specific protocol to treat elevated blood sugar at SUNY Downstate Medical Center at this
time. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the change in blood sugar following
insulin administration to determine whether there is a significantly different response
between ESRD and non-ESRD patients. The results of the study will help develop safer practice
guidelines to patients with ESRD with an elevated blood sugar while they are having surgery.
