Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of preoperative carbohydrate loading on perioperative blood glucose levels and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus undergo elective surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does carbohydrate loading affects perioperative blood glucose and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients undergo surgery? * How are the incident of perioperative hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia between subjects who receive placebo compared with subjects who receive carbohydrate loading * How are the hyperglycemia-related complications comparison between two groups? Researchers will compare the carbohydrate loading intervention to placebo (regular drinking water with zero-calorie sweetener) to see the effects of carbohydrate loading to blood glucose levels and insulin resistance (by HOMA-IR value) Participants will: * randomized to carbohydrate loading (CHO) group or placebo * checked for preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative blood glucose, and preoperative and postoperative insulin level * evaluated for any hyperglycaemia-related complications

Interventions

Patients receive 200 ml drink containing Maltodextrin 12.5%, 2 hours prior to surgery

OTHERPlacebo

Patients receive 200 ml regular drinking water with zero-calorie sweetener, 2 hours prior to surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Perioperative Blood Glucose LevelPreoperative (before intervention), 1 hour intraoperative, 30 minutes postoperative, 1 day postoperativeBlood glucose sampled from vein and capillary, measured in mg/dL
Insulin Resistancepreoperative and 30 minutes postoperativeCalculated using Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), obtained from measured fasting insulin (μU/ml) × fasting glucose (mmol/l) / 22.5

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Abnormal blood glucose incidencePreoperative, 1 hour intraoperative, 30 minutes postoperative, 1 day postoperativeBlood glucose level below 60 mg/dL (hypoglycaemia) or above 200 mg/dL (hyperglycaemia)
ComplicationsUp to 1 week postoperative or discharged from hospital stayHyperglycaemia-related complications, such as surgical site infection, aspiration, prolonged length of hospital stay
