In addition, 35 percent of patients with fructosamine levels higher than the cut-off, had no history of diabetes, indicating increased risks in patients who might not otherwise have been identified.

However, there are no current guidelines governing glucose levels prior to surgery, ... The investigators tested the blood levels of a similar glucose-monitoring compound called fructosamine.

A fructosamine level greater than 293 mol/L defined inadequate glycemic control and as a predictor for adverse outcomes. ... It is better reflects the glucose levels prior to surgery.

Fasting fructosamine levels decreased at 1 and 5 days post-bariatric surgery . Figure 2 Changes in glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR after BPD-DS bariatric surgery occur before changes in BMI.

The equation obtained in this study for the regression of A1C on fructosamine predicts A1C levels ~0.5% higher than those predicted by the equation obtained in our earlier study.
