Glucose Homeostasis, Metabolomics and Pregnancy Outcomes After Bariatric Surgery
The aim of the GLORIA study is to determine whether an altered glucose metabolism (with more hypoglycaemia and glycaemic variability) and altered metabolomics during pregnancy after bariatric surgery contribute to the increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes such as small-for-gestational age infants. In addition, the investigators also aim to evaluate whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be used to diagnose gestational diabetes (GDM).
• Age 18-45 years and with a singleton pregnancy with ultrasound-confirmed gestational age up to 11 weeks and 6 days
• for the group with bariatric surgery: history of gastric bypass (RYBG) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG)
• Participants need to speak and understand Flemish, French or English and have e-mail access.
