Several approaches to glucose management are discussed for patients whose diabetic history has been stable and also for those whose diabetic condition is labile or poorly controlled.
Abstract
Wound healing is impaired in diabetic patients with infection or hyperglycemia. Several approaches to glucose management are discussed for patients whose diabetic history has been stable and also for those whose diabetic condition is labile or poorly controlled.

Analysis of surgical wounds showed a reduction in the rate of infection in those using a hexachlorophene wash before operation and those whose operation site was not shaved, while no reduction or increase was observed when plastic skin drapes were used or when different hand-scrub preparations were used.

726 Citations1971Alastair G. Mowat, John Baum
The mean chemotactic index in 31 patients with diabetes mellitus was significantly less than that in 31 matched controls, and it is suggested that this defect in the chemotaxis of diabetic leukocytes could contribute to increased infections in these patients.

It would seem that if small vessel disease is a limiting factor in the healing of diabetics it would act through a barrier function whereby nutrients were delayed in their entry into the body via capillaries.

The data suggest that IgE and total Ig antibodies develop less often after human insulin treatment, and the immunoregulation mechanisms responsible for anti-insulin IgE antibody synthesis differ from those regulating other Ig that bind to insulins.

58 Citations1977Uri Taitelman
Preoperative NPH insulin and 1 unit/hour insulin administration resulted in equivalent diabetic control, but in two of eight patients receiving 2 units/hour, decreased insulin infusion rates and increased dextrose infusion rates were required to avoid hypoglycemia.

It is suggested that for major operations for well-controlled non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) persons and for all minor and major operations in poorly controlled NIDDM, a combined insulin, glucose, and potassium infusion should be used until oral feeding recommences.
The American Journal of SurgeryDeficient collagen formation by obese mice in a standard wound model
47 Citations1979William H. Goodson, Thomas K. Hunt
The causes of wound failure in diabetic patients include a failure of insulin to perform its normal role in healing, and this does not exclude other causes such as "small vessel disease" as etiologic factors, but it does suggest that control of metabolic derangements is beneficial to healing in diabetic Patients who undergo operation.

Findings indicate that the increase of mechanical strength and collagen content in wounds in stomach and duodenum is impaired by experimental diabetes, which is probably a real impairment of the healing process.

Results of this study indicate that, even in some mildly diabetic patients, a reduction in granulocyte is found, similar to that found in insulin-dependent diabetics, which may impair the inflammatory response.
