Glycemic control after sleeve gastrectomy in Taif Hospitals, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Figures & data

Table 1. Baseline characteristics of the patients underwent LSG.

Baseline characteristics	Total number = 96
Age (years)
mean ± SD	44.3 ± 8.6
median(minimum–maximum)	44 (27–64)
Gender, n (%)
Male	60 (62.5)
Female	36 (37.5)
Body mass index (kg/m^2)
mean ± SD	45.4 ± 8.1
median(minimum–maximum)	44.5 (27.6–77)

Note: Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight in kilogram on height in meters squared.

Table 2. Changes in blood glucose indices following LSG.

Blood glucose indices	Preoperative	Postoperative	P-value^a
Fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)			<.001
mean ± SD	160.7 ± 65.6	103.4 ± 36
Random blood glucose (mg/dL)			<.001
mean ± SD	237.4 ± 66.9	113.6 ± 15.7
Hemoglobin A1C%			<.001
mean ± SD	8.4 ± 1.5	6.2 ± 0.9

^a Paired t-test. Total number = 96.

Table 3. Changes in lipid profile following LSG.

Lipid profile	Preoperative	Postoperative	P-value
TC (mg/dL)			<.001^a
mean ± SD	189.3 (115.8–440)	146.38 (23.5–664)
TG (mg/dL)			<.001^b
mean ± SD	176.71 ± 35.1	82.7 ± 29.7
LDL (mg/dL)			.042^b
mean ± SD	117.8 ± 37.9	111.5 ± 35.4
HDL (mg/dL)			.84^b
mean ± SD	41.5 ± 11.5	41.8 ± 9.6

Notes: TC, Total cholesterol; TG, Triglycerides; HDL-C, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

^a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test.

^b Paired samples t-test. Total number = 96.

Table 4. Diabetic control following LSG.

Diabetic control, n (%)
Uncontrolled (HbA1C ≥ 7.5%)	8 (8.3)
Controlled (HbA1C < 7.5%)	88 (917)

Notes: Total number = 96. HBA1C, Glycosylated hemoglobin.
