Type 2 diabetes mellitus in 2013: A central role of the gut in glucose homeostasis

Geltrude Mingrone et al. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2014 Feb.

Metabolic surgery has been proven to be effective in inducing remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus prior to any significant weight reduction. Studies in 2013 have investigated the mechanisms of action of these procedures and have highlighted a central role of the small intestine in the effects on glucose homeostasis.
