Gastric bypass in Type 2 diabetes with <scp>BMI</scp> &lt; 30: weight and weight loss have a major influence on outcomes

Abstract

In patients with Type 2 diabetes and BMI < 30 kg/m(2) , glycaemic response to gastric bypass is predicted by higher baseline BMI, shorter disease duration and higher fasting C-peptide. Post-surgery weight loss has a dominant effect. Baseline BMI and weight loss have a major influence on outcomes.
