Brief summary

This study will assess changes in glycemic control in 40 patients with diabetes who undergo per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP) for medically refractory gastroparesis.

Detailed description

This will be a prospective study using HbA1c values and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to assess changes in glycemic control in patients with diabetes who undergo per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP) for medically refractory gastroparesis. The study cohort will consist of 40 patients with poor glycemic control who undergo POP. The investigators propose a prospective cohort study using CGM to compare glycemic profiles before and after POP in patients with diabetic gastroparesis. The investigators hypothesize that patients will have improvement in glycemic control and reduced variation in blood glucose levels (% time in hypo/hyperglycemia) after undergoing POP. These results will aid in clinical decision making, and may indicate an earlier need for endoscopic intervention in patients with uncontrolled diabetes and gastroparesis.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in Glucose Levels measured by Continuous Glucose MonitorBaseline and 6 MonthGlycemic control will be evaluated by measuring average glucose levels using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM). Normal glucose levels 74-99 mg/dL. Change = (Six Month Score - Baseline Score)
Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C levelsBaseline and 6 MonthGlycemic control will be evaluated by measuring change in Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels. Poor glycemic control defined as an average HbA1c \> 7.5%. Change = (Six Month Score - Baseline Score)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline on Diabetes Self-Management QuestionnaireBaseline and 6 MonthThe Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) is a self reported instrument assessing diabetes self-care activities. Possible scores range from 0 (Does not apply) to 3 (Applies to me very much). Change = (Six Month Score - Baseline Score)
Change from Baseline on Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom IndexBaseline and 6 MonthThe Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) is a validated patient-administered questionnaire that is used to assess gastroparesis symptom severity. Possible scores range from 0 (None) to 5 (Very Severe). Change = (Six Month Score - Baseline Score)
