ROELOFSE, JA  e  LAPERE, C. Continuous education on diabetic patients presenting for procedural sedation: a refresher to prepare for your case. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2017, vol.72, n.4, pp.173-175. ISSN 0375-1562.

The peri-operative management of diabetic patients for treatment procedures remains a notable clinical dilemma without a universally accepted solution for best management. New research indicates the advisability of continuation of basal insulin as well as certain oral hypoglycemics. The utilization of a pre-operative HBA1c-level, especially for longer procedures, is now deemed imperative.

Palavras-chave : peri-operative glucose management; blood glucose targets; basal insulin treatment; Glycated haemoglobin [HBA1c]; missed meals.
