Perioperative Evaluation of Glucose Profile Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in Glucose Intolerant Patients

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
