The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing in the UK, presenting greater complexity in its management when in the presence of other comorbidities. In the care of the adult perioperative patient with diabetes mellitus not only can symptoms can be difficult to attribute to one specific cause but also the onset of complications can be rapid. This article discusses the aetiology and key concerns during the perioperative pathway of care for successful management of the adult diabetic patient.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
