What’s New in Perioperative Diabetes Care?

Wednesday 18th March 2026, 7-8pm

In 2011, the first UK-wide guideline on perioperative diabetes was published. This was updated in 2016, and taken over and further updated by CPOC in 2022.

The perioperative implications of progress in diabetes pharmacology and technology, the need to be considered, in particular, the use of GLP-1 based therapies. Most recently, the Association of Anaesthetists and the Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care group have published a Delphi process-based consensus document on perioperative diabetes care.
