Some patients suffer disabling hypoglycaemia after RYGB, typically post prandially: Post Bariatric Hypoglycaemia (PBH). We hypothesised that these patients have increased glycaemic variability (GV), as assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Method: Prospective study of 6 patients undergoing RYGB with mixed meal tests (MMT) and CGM at baseline (BL), at 1 month and at 12 months. This cohort was compared to 15 patients with hypoglycaemia. Results: RYGB leads to improvement in postprandial glucose tolerance at 120 minutes, preceded by an early peak of glucose and insulin at 30 minutes (Figure 1). Compared to pre-surgery, hypoglycaemic patients have significantly elevated peak glucose and insulin levels at 30 minutes followed by hypoglycaemia at 120 minutes. GV increases post RYGB: mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions (MAGE) median (95% CI) at BL 3.1 (2.3-6.8); 1 m 2.8 (2.2-4.2); 12 m 4.5 (3.4-5.5). PBH patients exhibit similar GV: MAGE 4.4 (3.7-6.5). The %time in range (TIR) glucose <3.9 increases post-surgery (BL 0 (0-3.8); 1 m 1.8 (0.5-4.1); 12 m 8.0 (0-25.8) but patients with PBH exhibit similar %TIR<3.9: 6.8 (3.5-11.9). Conclusion: PBH patients exhibit exaggerated early glucose and insulin secretion to MMT. 'Real-world' CGM demonstrates that GV and time in hypoglycaemia is not significantly different between RYGB without PBH and patients with PBH. All patients post RYGB are at risk of hypos.
