Presence of diabetes and elevated hemoglobin A1c values have been linked with poor hand surgical outcomes, but there has been a lack of research looking at whether Day of Surgery (DOS) blood glucose levels (BGL) are related to surgical outcomes. We aim to investigate this relationship in Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) with the hypothesis
