The aim of this observational prospective monocentric study is to examine glycemic patterns in adult T2D patients candidates to bariatric surgery, by using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor over 14 days post-surgery, in order to search for indicators predicting T2D remission 1 year after surgery.

In this exploratory monocentric study performed at the Caen University Hospital in France, adult T2D patients consecutively enrolled for metabolic surgery will be prospectively included for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) recordings during the month preceding bariatric surgery and during the 2 weeks following surgery. Changes in body weight will be evaluated using weight measurement, BMI measurement and the percentage of excess weight loss (% EWL), calculated using the formula: initial weight-actual weight/initial weight - (25 x height2). Changes in diabetic status will be evaluated by HbA1c assay and collection of data on anti-diabetic treatment maintained during the follow-up. The Ad-Diarem score for predicting diabetes remission will be calculated in each patient from several variables including age, diabetes duration, insulin use, other glucose-lowering agents used, number of glucose-lowering agents used and HbA1c level. The variables recorded by CGM will include : mean daily interstitial glucose concentration (mg/dL), standard deviation (SD) of glucose concentration (mg/dL), coefficient of variation (CV) of glucose concentration corresponding to the SD-to-mean daily interstitial glucose ratio, time in normoglycemia (ie in the stringent 70-140mg/dL target which better reflects normoglycemia than the 70-180 mg/dl target) or time in range (TIR) as a percentage over 24h, time spent in hyperglycemia (ie >140mg/dL) or time above range (TAR) as a percentage over 24h, and time spent in hypoglycemia (<70mg/dL) or time below range (TBR) as a percentage over 24h.

Judgement criteria are defined as follows: the success of bariatric surgery will be defined as a % EWL >50%; normalization of glycemia will be defined as a mean 24-hr interstitial glucose level <100mg/d during the CGM recording period; diabetes remission after metabolic surgery will be defined as an HbA1c level at 1 year after surgery of < 6.0% without the use of any glucose-lowering agent. Such thresholds were chosen to meet the definition of complete remission by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the American Diabetes Association.

Quantitative variables will be expressed as mean + standard deviation. Qualitative variables will be expressed as percentages. Differences in quantitative variables, when compared to the pre-operative period, will be examined using Students t-test for paired data or with ANOVA. Analysis of subgroups will be carried out using Chi-2 test. Identification of predictive factors for diabetes remission will be based on analysis of ROC curves and the calculation of area under the curve data, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR+ and LR-) at different thresholds for each study variable including the pre-operative and post-operative CGM variables and the Add-Diarem score.
