Core Tip
Core tip: Peri-operative management of diabetes is like walking a tightrope. Complexity of the regimens adds fuel to the fire. We propose a simple regimen, which we believe safer, economical and more effective. “User-friendly” for the primary care providers on 24/7. Executable in a primary care set-up/general floor too, which is becoming inevitable because of the increasing burden of the disease.
