Blood Glucose Levels After Local Musculoskeletal Steroid Injections in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: A Clinical Review

“…7,13,18,20 These 4 studies report similar BGL after local CSI as the studies that evaluated BGL after CSI of the larger knee and shoulder joints. The majority of patients included in all of the studies had well-controlled DM, with mean HgA1C ≤7.0% in all but 2 studies.…”

“…Study populations were small, ranging from 6 to 40 participants. Five studies included only patients with T2DM, 9-12,15 3 studies included patients with T1 and T2DM, 13,18,20 and 2 studies did not specify DM type. 7,19 Patients without DM were included in only 2 studies.…”

“…18,20 In another study, patients with HgA1C >7.0% had BGLs that were higher and lasted longer than those with lower HgA1C levels. 13 Two studies included a comparison between patients with and without DM and found that patients with DM had a greater absolute increase in BGLs. 15,18 While 1 of these studies found that patients with DM had a longer time to return to baseline BGL, 15 the other study found that all patients had returned to baseline BGL by 24 hours.…”

Assessing Cosmetic Surgery Safety: The Evolving Data

“…These high mortality rates were often due to massive blood loss in high volume liposuction with a prolonged operative time, thromboembolism, pulmonary edema, and abdominal/viscus perforation. 4 , 14 These deaths prompted the formation of a task force by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The fluid status of patients was mismanaged, resulting in both under- and over-resuscitation.…”

“…With the advent of the superwet technique over tumescent liposuction, and proper training of board-certified plastic surgeons, the mortality rate dropped drastically, and liposuction is now considered one of the safest cosmetic procedures performed. 14 …”
