If you suffer from type 2 diabetes and are facing any type of medical procedure in the near or far future, you need to pay especial attention to today’s article.
According to a new study published in the journal Diabetes Care, this could lead to sever consequences.
And there is only one thing you can do to avoid it.
Researchers recruited patients from the hospital, who needed surgery between 2013 and 2016 and who were 54 years and older, categorizing them according to their diabetes status.
Of the 7,565 patients, 30% had diabetes and 37% had pre-diabetes, which is higher than the average numbers in the healthy and younger populations.
The patients were followed for six months after their surgery to see how well they recovered and also to enable the scientists to compare the groups with each other.
After these six months, diabetics were 29% more likely than nondiabetics to have died and 32% more likely to have suffered major complications.
In addition, they were 50% more likely than their nondiabetic counterparts to have been admitted to the intensive care unit, 67% more likely to have needed mechanical ventilation, and they also needed a longer hospital stay to recover.
This applied to any type of surgery, not just serious vascular surgery.
The only thing you can do to avoid these surgery complications is to focus on tackling your type 2 diabetes.
