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.
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.
Subjects without diabetes will have their blood glucose levels monitored while in the hospital.
