Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Bone fragility is a complication of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes treatments may ameliorate or deteriorate bone fragility in this population. Bariatric surgery is gaining in popularity in people with type 2 diabetes and may impact bone health. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide (sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) on vBMD by QCT in patients with type 2 diabetes; Secondary aims: (1) to identify the determinants of vBMD after bariatric surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes; (2) to compare vBMD and its potential determinants after bariatric surgery with obese controls without diabetes as well as with controls without obesity and normoglycemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicentre, prospective and observational study comprising a bariatric group with or without diabetes undergoing SG (n=70) and one control group (n=30).

Outcome measures are assessed before and at 4 months, 8 months, one year and 3 years after surgery in the bariatric groups and at a single visit for the control group.

Bariatric groups will include adult men and women with or without type 2 diabetes and obesity undergoing sleeve gastrectomy and followed at 0, 4 months, 8 months, 1 year and 3 years after surgery, and the control group will consist of 30 overweight individuals (10 men, 10 premenopausal women, 10 menopausal women) and without diabetes or prediabetes and assessed at a single visit.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* bariatric groups: men and women; 18 to 60 years old; with a BMI \>=35 kg/m2; with type 2 diabetes: use of oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin OR 2 of the following tests confirming type 2 diabetes: HbA1c \>=6.5%; fasting glucose \>=7.0 mM; 2-h glucose post 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) \>=11.1 mM) (guidelines.diabetes.ca);) or without diabetes: HbA1c \<6.5% AND fasting glucose \<7.0 mM; who are awaiting bariatric surgery. Control group: BMI 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 (overweight group); without diabetes or prediabetes: HbA1c \<6.0% AND fasting glucose \<6.1 mM (Diabetes Canada criteria), with a stable weight for the last 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria

* bariatric groups: type 1 diabetes; disease (e.g. uncontrolled thyroid disease, malabsorptive or overt inflammatory disorder, metabolic bone disease, creatinine clearance \<60 ml/min) or medication (e.g. glucocorticoids, anti-epileptic drugs, osteoporosis therapy and thiazolidinediones) affecting bone metabolism; BMI\>60 kg/m2; CT scan impossible to perform (e.g. patient too large for the gantry aperture); pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant during the study or women of childbearing age who do not agree to take an appropriate contraceptive method during the study; history of oesophageal, gastric or digestive surgery; history of bariatric surgery; cancer at risk of recurrence during the study; Prosthesis that could interfere with interpretation of imaging data; Chronic severe condition or illness precluding from participation in the project.

Control group: Same criteria plus: \>5% change in weight in the last 3 months; pregnancy or lactation in the last year.
