Diabetes: treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with bariatric surgery

Peter Clifton. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal surgery may ameliorate glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus within days to weeks--an effect that cannot be explained solely by the changes in food intake and body weight following gastric bypass. should clinicians, therefore, implement bariatric procedures to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients who do not meet current obesity-based criteria for surgery?
