Hartmann's Solution and Normal Saline in Type II Diabetes Patients

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether perioperative use of Hartmann's solution in type II diabetes patients increases blood glucose level after surgery. The investigators expect the result to broaden the choice of fluid for diabetic patients and hopefully to diminish the side effects manifested by the excess use of normal saline.
