Evaluation of Laryngoscopy grade in patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Comparison Between Insulin and Oral hypoglycemic Drug Users

Abstract

Background: Diabetic patients are at an increased risk of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation during general anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the incidence and severity of difficult laryngoscopy among diabetic patients using either insulin or oral antidiabetic drugs (OADDs) compared to non-diabetic controls.
