THE PREFERRED LIQUID DIET FOR DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS IN PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This systematic study looks at the best liquid diet for diabetic mellitus (DM) patients during the perioperative phase. Diabetes presents special difficulties in surgical
settings, therefore dietary decisions must be carefully considered. The influence of different liquid diets on glycemic control, postoperative complications, and
overall patient outcomes is examined in our review, which includes trials from reliable sources. According to research, controlling blood glucose levels during
surgery requires a carefully selected liquid diet that emphasizes low glycemic index alternatives. Glycemic stability is positively impacted by high-fiber liquids,
such as vegetable-based broths and sugar-free drinks. Research findings reveal that a carefully curated liquid diet, emphasizing low glycemic index options, plays
a crucial role in managing blood glucose levels perioperatively. High-fiber liquids, such as vegetable-based broths and sugar-free beverages, demonstrate positive
effects on glycemic stability. Furthermore, studies highlight the importance of individualized nutritional plans, acknowledging variations in insulin sensitivity
among DM patients. The review explores the influence of different liquid diets on postoperative complications, emphasizing reduced incidences of surgical site
infections and improved wound healing with specific dietary interventions. Fluid management strategies, including electrolyte balance and hydration, are also
discussed to address the unique needs of DM patients undergoing surgery. In conclusion, our systematic review synthesizes current evidence on liquid diets for
diabetes mellitus patients during the perioperative period, highlighting the importance of personalized nutritional strategies for glycemic control and improved
surgical outcomes. This comprehensive analysis aims to guide healthcare professionals in making informed decisions regarding the optimal liquid diet for DM
patients undergoing surgery, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient care and postoperative recovery.
