Effective reduction in stress induced postoperative hyperglycemia in bariatric surgery by better carb loading - 18/03/20
, Jesse Chou, Melissa Dusseljee, Stuart Verseman, Alain ElianAbstract |
Background |
Preoperative carbohydrate loading is a recommended component of enhanced recovery protocols (ERP’s), however the impact on postoperative stress-induced insulin resistance remains poorly studied in both diabetics and non-diabetics.
Methods |
Using our ERP, a preoperative grape juice group (Grape) was compared to the use of 25 g maltodextrin/3 g citrulline (G.E.D.™, SOF Health, LLC) for carbohydrate loading.
Results |
The population included 171 patients (Grape n = 96; GED n = 75). Glycemic variability was significantly worse for the Grape group on POD 0 in both non-diabetic (70% vs 41%; p < 0.05) and diabetic patients (66% vs 34%; p < 0.05). Significantly more Grape patients required postoperative insulin regardless of diabetic status.
Conclusion |
Following bariatric surgery, the impact of stress induced hyperglycemia is primarily on POD 0 in non-diabetics whereas the effect extends into POD 1 for diabetics. Preoperative loading with G.E.D.™ versus grape juice is associated with a significantly lower rate of glycemic variation and postoperative insulin requirement, demonstrating that drink composition and treatment process reduces the severity of postoperative stress induced hyperglycemia in bariatric surgery patients.

• | Use of preoperative maltodextrin/citrulline drink (G.E.D.™, SOFHealth, LLC) can lead to the reduction of hyperglycemic variability for both non-diabetics and diabetics even with the use of prophylactic dexamethasone. |
• | This benefit was also associated with a significant reduction in the need for insulin therapy regardless of diabetic status. |
• | These data represent the first direct evidence that a specific preoperative drink composition and treatment process reduces the rate and severity of postoperative stress induced hyperglycemia in bariatric surgery. |
