Summary

This trial will help determine if it is safe for patients with type 2 diabetes to drink a sugar-based drink before surgery, in order to potentially decrease complications.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with type 2 diabetes who are scheduled for elective colorectal surgery at specified hospitals. It's only for those managing their diabetes with diet or oral medications, not insulin.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of giving a carbohydrate drink (like juice) to patients with type 2 diabetes before they undergo colorectal surgery, to see if it can reduce complications and hospital stay time.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves consuming a sugar drink, potential side effects may include changes in blood sugar levels. There might also be an increased risk of aspiration for some patients due to delayed stomach emptying.
