Abstract

AIM: To define the impact of duration of diabetes and extent of weight loss on the reversibility of Type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery. METHODS: Complete data were collated from 89 individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing any bariatric surgical procedure in a specialist bariatric centre. People with a preoperative HbA1c < 43 mmol/mol (6.1%) were excluded. Diabetes duration was defined as: short, < 4 years; medium, 4-8 years; and long, > 8 years. RESULTS: An HbA1c of <43 mmol/mol (6.1%) was achieved by 62% of patients in the short-duration group and 26% of patients in the long-duration group. Normoglycaemia was rarely achieved in the long-duration group if weight loss was < 25 kg. In the whole cohort there was a clear relationship of greater weight loss with lower HbA1c levels (Rs = -0.53; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that the degree of achieved weight loss is the major determinant of return to normal blood glucose levels after bariatric surgery. Normoglycaemia can be achieved in long-duration Type 2 diabetes, but a greater degree of weight loss is required than for short-duration diabetes.

  • Accumulated evidence points to duration of diabetes with earlier age of onset and persistent elevation of HbA1c as the main drivers of the disabling and costly clinical complications of type 2 diabetes, in particular the vascular consequences of associated hypertension and dyslipidaemia.

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.
