Abstract

Background Current guidelines do not offer detailed recommendations on antidiabetic drug therapy in type 2 diabetes (T2D) after bariatric surgery (BS), and reported experience is scarce.Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of liraglutide at 2 years in patients with morbid obesity after undergoing BS and subsequent relapse, persistence, or new diagnosis of T2D, comparing the results with a cohort of nonsurgical diabetic patients also treated with liraglutide.Setting Obesity clinic at a University Hospital.Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 2 cohorts of patients (with and without previous BS) with T2D and obesity who had started treatment with liraglutide at least 2 years before their inclusion in the study. The main outcome measures were the differences in glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and weight at 104 weeks between both groups.Results A total of 164 patients were included, 15 with previous BS and 149 without BS. Mean baseline parameters were A1C 6.6% and body mass index 40.3 kg/m 2 for the BS group, and A1C 7.5% and body mass index 39.7 kg/m 2 for the non-BS group. At 2 years, A1C and weight were significantly decreased in both groups (BS group: ΔA1C -0.39%, Δweight -3.4 kg; non-BS group: ΔA1C -0.67%, Δweight -3.8 kg; all results P<.05), with no significant differences in A1C and weight reduction between both groups. There was a significant lower frequency of withdrawals due to all causes and a nonsignificant lower rate of vomiting and hypoglycemia in patients with BS.Conclusions Liraglutide achieved a significant reduction in weight and A1C at 2 years in patients with T2D previously treated with BS, showing good gastrointestinal tolerance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
