It is well established that bariatric (weightloss) surgery affords considerable improvement in glycaemic control (control of blood sugar), and in many cases may lead to a complete resolution of type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying these changes are yet to be elucidated and no research project to date has attempted to characterise changes in glycaemic control sooner than 3 days post surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to characterise changes in glycaemic control in individuals immediately following such surgery for a period of five days. Participants will be fitted with a continuous blood glucose measurement system (CGMS) prior to leaving theatre, which electronically records their blood glucose concentration every minute for up to five days. Upon returning the device each participant will undergo a standard meal test and have a small blood sample taken at 30 minute intervals (0-120 minutes) for the quantification of incretins (gut hormones involved in medium term control of blood sugar) insulin, glucose and appetite hormones.
These measurements will be compared to those collected at the baseline session, three weeks prior to the patient's surgery. Additional baseline visit measurements include: fasting lipid profile, insulin concentration, blood glucose concentration, HBA1C (long term blood glucose measurement), blood pressure, height, weight, waist circumference, and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and medical and family history.
All patients will be followed up twelve weeks post surgery, during which, all baseline measurements will be repeated.

- Glycaemic shift [ Time Frame: Baseline - 12 weeks post surgery ]The primary outcome is time taken for a glycaemic shift to be observed, as measured by CGMS. This is the mean proportion (%) of time spent either above (≥10mmol/l), below (≤3.1mmol/l) or within (3.2-9.9mmol/l) our predefined glycaemic ranges will be calculated for each participant over the recording period and adjusted for 24 hours. A glycaemic shift in this context is defined as a statistically (p<0.05) significant reduction or increase in the proportion of time spent within a glycaemic range i.e. shift from hyperglycaemic to normoglycaemic range.
- Change in number of hyperglycaemic events [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The time taken for a change in the number of hyperglycaemic events (≥ 10.0 mmol/l for a duration of ≥ 10 minutes) to
- Change in duration of hyperglycaemic events [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The time taken for a change in the duration of hyperglycaemic events (minutes) to be observed
- Change in number of hypoglycaemic events [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The time taken for a change in the number of hypoglycaemic events (≤ 3.1 mmol/l for a duration of ≥ 10 minutes) to be observed (adjusted for 24 hours)
- Change in duration of hypoglycaemic events [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The time taken for a change in the duration of hypoglycaemic event (minutes) to be observed
- Change in GLP-1 Profile [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in the area under the curve of the GLP1 profile between visit 1 and 2
- Change in GIP profile [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in the fasting levels GIP between visit 1-2 and 2-3
- Change in insulin profile [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in the fasting levels of insulin between visit 1-2 and 2-3
- Change in HbA1c [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in Hba1c between visit 1 and 3
- Change in FPG [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in fasting glucose levels between visit 1 and 3
- Change in 2h glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in 2 hour post load glucose levels between visit 1 and 3
- Change in MAGE [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions (MAGE) between visit 1 and 3
- Change in subjective appetite [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in subjective appetite between visit 1 - 3 and over the course of the hospital stay
- Change in subjective palatability [ Time Frame: Baeline to 12 weeks post sugery ]The change in subjective palatability of meal test between visit 1 and 3
- Change in appetite via VAS [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in appetite as measured via visual analogue scale between visits 1 and 3 and change throughout inpatient stay.
- Change in palatability via VAS [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks post surgery ]The change in palatability as measured via visual analogue scale
