The Effect of a Diabetes Action Team in Patients Post Infrainguinal Bypass Surgery With and Without Diabetes
The Effect of a Diabetes Action Team in Patients Post Infrainguinal Bypass Surgery With and Without Diabetes
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University of British Columbia, September 2008
Sponsors and Collaborators: University of British Columbia
Novo Nordisk
Information provided by: University of British Columbia
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00456105
Purpose
Diabetes is a very common illness. Approximately 4% of British Columbians have diabetes. However, at least 20% of people admitted to acute care hospitals have diabetes. People with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing complications after surgery including infection and prolonged hospital stay, especially if blood sugars are high.
The researchers are testing a Diabetes Action Team to see if their involvement in patient care after surgery improves blood glucose control, duration of stay in hospital, and infection rates.
Condition Intervention
Type 2 Diabetes
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Behavioral: Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive standard diabetes care by their admitting physician
Behavioral: Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive diabetes care under the direction of the Diabetes Action Team
Behavioral: Subjects without diabetes will have their blood glucose levels monitored while in the hospital

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator
Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive standard diabetes care by their admitting physician, post operatively until hospital discharge and post discharge in the community. Behavioral: Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive standard diabetes care by their admitting physician
See Detailed Description.
2: Experimental
Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive diabetes care under the direction of the Diabetes Action Team post operatively until hospital discharge and post discharge in the community. The Diabetes Action team will consist of a nurse coordinator who is a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) and a team of physicians specialized in the management of diabetes. Behavioral: Subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery will receive diabetes care under the direction of the Diabetes Action Team
See detailed description.
3: Placebo Comparator
Subjects without diabetes will have their blood glucose levels monitored while in the hospital. Behavioral: Subjects without diabetes will have their blood glucose levels monitored while in the hospital
See detailed description.
Detailed Description:
This trial will randomize subjects with diabetes who plan to undergo elective infrainguinal bypass surgery to receive either standard diabetes care by their admitting physician, or diabetes care under the direction of the Diabetes Action Team post operatively until hospital discharge and post discharge in the community. Subjects without diabetes will have their blood glucose levels monitored while in the hospital. The Diabetes Action team will consist of a nurse coordinator who is a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) and a team of physicians specialized in the management of diabetes. The study will not increase the length of the hospital stay.
