A box-and-whisker plot showing the glucose values from the prospective study group. Postoperative sampling in the historical controls was too infrequent to be used in this type of analysis. The time points are during the preoperative fasting and at the 4 sampling times in the first 24 hours after the surgical procedure. The line within the box represents the median, and the x represents the mean. The whiskers extend from the box for a distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range. The circles indicate outliers. The glucose values are of all of the patients in the prospective study group: the patients with normal glucose metabolism, patients with prediabetes, and patients with diabetes. The glucose values were significantly different at each time point (p < 0.0001).
