Objectives The goal of this quality initiative was to develop consensus standards for glycemic management of patients with diabetes who undergo surgical procedures in Canada. Methods A modified Delphi method was used to gather broad stakeholder input and arrive at a consensus for perioperative/periprocedure diabetes management. Results Glycemic management standards were developed for the following categories: Organization of Care; Preoperative Assessment; Immediate Preoperative and Intraoperative; Postanesthesia Care Unit or Recovery Room; Postoperative Period; and Transition to Outpatient Care. Conclusions It is anticipated these standards will serve as a basis to develop clinical tools to support the recommendations.
