Abnormal Blood Sugar Tests in Diabetic Patients During Colonoscopy Preparation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Colonoscopy preparation using polyethylene glycol for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Colonoscopy. Completed, enrolled 187 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing globally and has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Therefore, the numbers of diabetic patients who will undergo colonoscopic screening are expected to grow exponentially. Colonoscopic preparation entails prolonged fasting, cessation of anti-diabetic medication and ingestion of preparation medications. This may put the diabetic patient at risk of potentially dangerous hypo- or hyperglycemia. However, studies regarding the safety of colonoscopic preparation in diabetic are lacking. In this study, the investigators aim to discover the prevalence of abnormal glucose levels in diabetic patients who undergo colonoscopy. The investigators also aim to find out risk factors for abnormal glucose levels and develop a safe preparation protocol.
