Does sleeve gastrectomy compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass improve glycemic control in obese subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?
Sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass provide similar glycemic control benefits in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, despite differences in GLP-1 levels and weight loss.
LSG may provide glycemic control comparable to LRYGB in obese T2DM; leaves open whether GLP-1 and weight-loss differences matter in randomized trials.
BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) has weight-independent effects on glycemia in obese type 2 diabetic patients, whereas sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is less well characterized. This study aims to compare early weight-independent and later weight-dependent glycemic effects of LRYGB and LSG. METHODS: Eighteen LRYGB and 15 LSG patients were included in the study. Glucose, insulin, GLP-1, and GIP levels were monitored during a modified 30 g oral glucose tolerance test before surgery and 2 days, 3 weeks, and 12 months after surgery. Patients self-monitored glucose levels 2 weeks before and after surgery. CONCLUSION: LRYGB and LSG show very similar effects on glycemic control, despite lower GLP-1 levels and inferior BMI decrease after LSG.
