Core Tip	Type 2 diabetes has a major effect on patients having tumor excision during and after the surgery. Higher chances of surgical site infection, cerebral edema, neurological issues, prolonged hospital stays, and risk of tumor recurrence can result into high blood sugar, long-term inflammatory phase, slower wound healing, and disturbance of the blood brain barrier. The review highlights the need of customized preoperative glucose control, thorough postoperative monitoring, and prolonged metabolic improvement in diabetic patients by diabetes as an active biological disorder of neurosurgical risk factor rather than a passive disorder.
