This trial tests a medication called mizagliflozin to see if it can reduce episodes of low blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. If you experience symptoms like confusion or fainting when your blood sugar drops, this study might help.
This study compares how pregnancy and newborn health differ between women who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and women who didn't. Researchers follow both mother and baby to understand potential risks and benefits.
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.
This study looks at how the body handles carbohydrates after eating in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, with or without post-surgery hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The goal is to understand why some people get low blood sugar after meals and how to better manage it.
