NCT04343040

Brief Summary

The recent use of a pre-operative carbohydrate loading compared to fasting has been shown to improve the early recovery after surgical procedures by reducing the profound stress response following surgery and allowing a better postoperative blood glucose regulation by lowering insulin resistance. The responsible mechanisms of T2D remission after bariatric surgery are not completely understood and guidelines for the early management of T2D and GI following bariatric surgery are lacking, resulting in highly variable postoperative glucose control. No other study has yet investigated the effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading on glucose control the first days after the bariatric surgery in patients who have poor glycemic control

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean blood glucose level of CGM over 24-h period beginning the day after surgery in patients receiving pre-operative carbohydrate loading in comparison with standard 6h fasting

    mean blood glucose level over 24h at D1 after surgery, as assessed by CGM

    Day 1 after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • mean blood glucose value

    preoperative, Day2 and Day 3 after surgery, Day 4 to 6 after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  • post prandial peak glucose (Gmax)

    preoperative, Day1 after surgery, Day2 and Day 3 after surgery, Day 4 to 6 after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  • the time spent in hyperglycemic range (> 12 mmol / L)

    preoperative, Day1 after surgery, Day2 and Day 3 after surgery, Day 4 to 6 after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  • time spent in hypoglycemic range (<2.4 mmol / L)

    preoperative, Day1 after surgery, Day2 and Day 3 after surgery, Day 4 to 6 after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  • total area under the glucose curve (AUC20)

    preoperative, Day1 after surgery, Day2 and Day 3 after surgery, Day 4 to 6 after surgery, 3 months after surgery

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

perioperative glucose intake

EXPERIMENTAL

glucose intolerant patients with perioperative glucose (carbohydrate supplement (Preload™) intake before Gastric By-Pass or Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Dietary Supplement: carbohydrate supplement (Preload™)

6 hours of preoperative fasting

SHAM COMPARATOR

glucose intolerant patients receiving 6 hours of preoperative fasting before Gastric By-Pass or Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Procedure: 6 hours of preoperative fasting

Interventions

carbohydrate supplement (Preload™) will be administered 4-hours prior to bariatric surgery (experimental treatment) Preload™ is a neutral-tasting carbohydrate loading drink mix specifically designed for use before elective surgery. Preload is presented in 50g pre-measured sachets which when added to water (400ml) produces a solution with low osmolality.

perioperative glucose intake

Standard of care. In this group, patients continue the standard of care treatment before surgery with fasting recommended 6 hours before surgery.

6 hours of preoperative fasting
