Article Synopsis
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes, and this study aimed to assess its impact on glycemic variability (GV) and hypoglycemia in patients.
- The research involved 10 participants who were monitored before surgery and at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years post-surgery using continuous glucose monitoring, along with mixed-meal tests.
- Findings revealed that while average glucose levels decreased after RYGB, glycemic variability increased over time, leading to an increased risk of postbariatric hypoglycemia in some participants due to higher levels of GLP-1 response.
We aimed to determine whether altering dietary glycemic index (GI) in addition to healthy eating and weight loss advice affects arterial compliance and 24-hour blood pressure (BP), both coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Middle-aged men with at least 1 CHD risk were randomized to a 6-month low-GI (LGI) or high-GI (HGI) diet. All were advised on healthy eating and weight loss.
