Abstract
Currently, there is a lack of consensus on the provision of preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to theoretical concerns including the possibility of delayed gastric emptying, perioperative hyperglycemia, and poor surgical outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the accumulating evidence on preoperative carbohydrate loading in this population and whether these concerns are supported by preliminary evidence. In general, the available research suggests that carbohydrate loading may be implemented in those with T2DM without increased risk for intra- and postoperative hyperglycemia or surgical complications. However, there is strong justification for future research to definitively study this highly debated and timely topic. Ultimately, the inclusion of preoperative carbohydrate loading for surgical patients with DM should be guided by the surgical team's clinical judgment and individualized based on patient needs and characteristics.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
