Fig. 2From: Higher blood glucose and larger fluctuations detected postoperatively using continuous glucose monitoring: a preliminary study following total knee or hip arthroplastyContinuous blood glucose trace for Patient 2. Postoperative blood glucose in a 73-year-old woman with diabetes in whom a right total hip arthroplasty (THA) had been performed. X-axis, postoperative day; Y-axis, blood glucose concentration (mg/dl). Black spots, blood glucose concentrations measured using SMGB. Each number is the blood glucose concentration (mg/dl) at that time point.
