Diabetes Complications, Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
This protocol will determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia and diabetes in the elective orthopedic population at the University of Wisconsin. It will also determine if there is a difference in outcomes. The study hypothesizes that at least 10% of patients will have some degree of impaired glucose regulation that has previously been undiagnosed.
