Stress response to cardiac surgery manifests as a major neuroendocrine and cytokine response leading to increased levels of inflammation and subsequent hyperglycemia, contributing to significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To mitigate these effects in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), our study focused on using dexmedetomidine infusion hypothesizing decreased stress response and thereby improved glucose variability (GV).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients were randomized into two groups: group D (dexmedetomidine) was administered the drug at 0.5 \u00b5g\/kg\/h, and group C (control) was administered an equivalent amount of saline. Preinduction C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were sent, and perioperative GV and mean insulin requirement were recorded in 24 h. Postoperatively, samples were sent and recorded for IL-6 and CRP levels at 12 and 24 h. The primary objective of our study was to assess the effect of injection dexmedetomidine on blood GV with secondary objectives being the assessment of the level of IL-6 and CRP at preinduction (0 h) and at 12 and 24 h postoperatively and comparison of mean insulin requirement between the groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eighty-nine diabetic patients were enrolled in this study, among which 21 were excluded. Sixty-eight patients, with 34 patients in each group, were selected for analysis. There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of GV (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.042) (16.44 \u00b1 4.63 vs. 14.38 \u00b1 3.45), mean insulin requirements (U\/h) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001) (1.38 \u00b1 0.63 vs. 0.88 \u00b1 0.59), CRP (mg\/dL) (12 h) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.012) (2.6 \u00b1 2.83 vs. 1.51 \u00b1 1.13, and CRP (mg\/dL) (24 h) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = &lt;0.001) (16.71 \u00b1 6.45 vs. 10.19 \u00b1 4.56).
