Reversal of Type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery is determined by the degree of achieved weight loss in both short‐ and long‐duration diabetes

Abstract

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.
