简要总结
This study will investigate if the HbA1c result before surgery which assesses glucose control over the longer term, can accurately predict what happens to the glucose levels and glucose profile following surgery. This will be recorded using continuous glucose monitoring sensors which are worn by participants pre and post elective surgery.
详细描述
The research question addressed in this study is how preoperative markers of diabetes control correspond with the fluctuations in glucose levels which occur around surgery measured using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). At present a HbA1c blood test prior to surgery is routinely used to infer the surgical risk associated with a person's glucose levels. HbA1c gives a measure of average blood glucose levels over the preceding 2-3 months and the joint British diabetes society guidelines recommend aiming for an HbA1c of 69mmol/mol or less before planned surgery.
However the HbA1c does not give a complete picture of a person's diabetes control and the evidence behind this threshold is incomplete. Furthermore due to the physiological stress of surgery and counterregulatory hormone release glucose levels can be more dynamic and unpredictable in this population. With CGM glucose levels are recorded multiple times an hour, revealing glucose variation and the amount of time the person's glucose levels spend above and below the ideal range which is understood to be associated with increased risks. This study aims to examine how such glucose patterns and 'at risk' time periods when glucose levels are outside of the target range correspond with different levels of HbA1c before surgery. This is an important area of study as diabetes is becoming increasingly prevalent in surgical patients and is associated with worse outcomes. Using new technologies to evaluate predictors of such harmful patterns in glucose levels is therefore vital.
Individuals who are eligible for this study are those with type 2 diabetes undergoing elective primary hip or knee replacement surgery. This is an observational study. Participants will wear a Freestyle Libre Pro glucose sensor for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks immediately post their surgery. The investigators will also collect information about participants recovery.
Duration of the study will be up to 8 weeks. The study will take place at Portsmouth Hospital NHS trust.
