Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Metabolic Surgery
United States20 participantsStarted 2026-07-15
Plain-language summary
We will recruit 20 severely obese participants at Metamor Institute. Participants with obesity who are eligible for MBS will be randomized to either CGM group or self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) group before the surgery based on a 1:1 ratio. All participants live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The surgeon in Metamor will introduce our study to the patients. If the patients are interested, the evaluation process includes verifying basic personal information, assessing health status and medical history, and evaluating specific eligibility criteria relevant to the study. The study coordinator will be discussing informed consent, ensuring participants understand the study's purpose, procedures, and any associated risks or benefits. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, ensuring clarity and comfort with the study. All collected data is documented and securely stored, respecting data privacy protocols. Eligible individuals are informed about the screening visit, while those not suitable are considered for future studies.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
