Use of flash glucose monitoring for post-bariatric hypoglycaemia diagnosis and management.

ABSTRACT: Our aim was to assess the potential of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) for diagnostic workup of suspected post-bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH). Patients (N = 13) with suspected PBH underwent a food and symptoms diary (FSD) record along with FGM over 14 days. Targeted data analysis confirmed the occurrence of low glucose events in parallel to meal-triggered symptoms. Glycaemic variability, as assessed by Mean Absolute Glucose change (MAG change), was increased, while a higher risk of glycaemic excursions towards both hyper and hypoglycaemia (ADRR_FGMGT) was observed in those with more frequent and severe hypoglycaemia. The herein described hypoglycaemia risk index (LBGI_FGMGT) with a cut-off value of 4.6 showed to have 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for PBH. This pil
