Impact of Gastric Banding Versus Metformin on β-Cell Function in Adults With Impaired Glucose Tolerance or Mild Type 2 Diabetes
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results from progressive loss of β-cell function. The BetaFat study compared gastric banding and metformin for their impact on β-cell function in adults with moderate obesity and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recently diagnosed, mild T2D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Eighty-eight people aged 21–65 years, BMI 30–40 kg/m2, with IGT or diabetes known for <1 year, were randomized to gastric banding or metformin for 2 years. Hyperglycemic clamps (11.1 mmol/L) followed by arginine injection at maximally potentiating glycemia (>25 mmol/L) were performed at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months to measure steady-state C-peptide (SSCP) and acute C-peptide response to arginine at maximum glycemic potentiation (ACPRmax) and insulin sensitivity (M/I). RESULTS: At 24 months, the band group lost 10.7 kg; the metformin group lost 1.7 kg (P < 0.01). Insulin sensitivity increased 45% in the band group and 25% in the metformin group (P = 0.30 between groups). SSCP adjusted for insulin sensitivity fell slightly but not significantly in each group (P = 0.34 between groups). ACPRmax adjusted for insulin sensitivity fell significantly in the metformin group (P = 0.002) but not in the band group (P = 0.25 between groups). HbA1c fell at 12 and 24 months in the band group (P < 0.004) but only at 12 months (P < 0.01) in the metformin group (P > 0.14 between groups). Normoglycemia was present in 22% and 15% of band and metformin groups, respectively, at 24 months (P = 0.66 between groups). CONCLUSIONS: Gastric banding and metformin had similar effects to preserve β-cell function and stabilize or improve glycemia over a 2-year period in moderately obese adults with IGT or recently diagnosed, mild T2D.

CCI weight loss was comparable to observed weight loss following surgical gastric banding (−10.7 kg) at 2 years.
“CCI weight loss was comparable to observed weight loss following surgical gastric banding (−10.7 kg) at 2 years (59).”
CCI diabetes reversal exceeds remission as prescriptions for metformin were usually continued given its role in preventing disease progression, preserving β-cell function and in the treatment of pre-diabetes per guidelines.

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.
