Does laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy combined with medical management improve metabolic indices and induce remission of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in non-morbidly obese patients?
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy combined with medical management significantly improves weight and glycemic control, leading to diabetes remission in a majority of non-morbidly obese patients with uncontrolled T2DM.
Desiderio et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=15). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and medical management was evaluated on complete remission of diabetes. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with Obesity Class II and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes resulted in complete diabetes remission in 40% and partial remission in 33.3% at 1 year.
