topicBerberine Sleep Quality Randomized Trial
claimType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects approximately 10-25% of patients undergoing orthopedic procedures and is associated with impaired tissue healing, increased complication rates, and reduced responsiveness to orthobiologic therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) preparations.
