Carbohydrate loading for diabetic patients undergoing heart surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effects of carbohydrate loading on diabetic type 2 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either carbohydrate loading two hours before surgery or follow a standard fasting protocol. The study aims to assess the impact of carbohydrate loading on insulin resistance, clinical outcomes such as infection rates and ICU stay duration, and changes in inflammatory markers. By focusing on this specific population, the trial seeks to fill the knowledge gap regarding the efficacy of carbohydrate loading in diabetic patients.
