Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Enhanced recovery after surgery protocols aim to optimize perioperative care and improve surgical outcomes. Preoperative carbohydrate loading has demonstrated benefits in reducing insulin resistance and improving patient outcomes. While non-diabetic patients benefit from this approach, its efficacy in diabetic type 2 patients undergoing CABG remains less understood. This study aims to address this gab by evaluating the physiological and clinical outcomes for carbohydrate loading in this specific population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized controlled trial comparing diabetic type 2 patients receiving carbohydrate loading with those undergoing traditional fasting protocols. Patients will be randomized to two groups; group (a) patients will have carbohydrate loading 2 hours before the surgery (400 ml of 12.5 maltodextrin and 400 ml of over-the-counter fruit-based lemonade), while group (b) patients (control group) will have standard fasting protocol 8 hours before surgery.

Aims of the study:

1. To assess the efficacy of carbohydrate loading in reducing insulin resistance in diabetic type 2 patients undergoing CABG surgeries.
2. To monitor clinical outcomes such as infection rates, ICU stay duration, and need for inotropic and vasoactive drugs.
3. To evaluate changes in inflammatory markers including CRP levels. clinical outcome
