Researchers found that bariatric surgery among type 2 diabetes patients with class I and II
\nobesity led to an 89% diabetes remission rate and reductions in A1C from 7.1%
\nat baseline to 5.8%, number of diabetes medications from baseline 0.7 agents to
\n0.2 agents and fasting blood glucose from baseline 94.6 mg\/dL to 129.4 mg\/dL.
\nThe findings, presented at ObesityWeek and based on 35 diabetes patients,
\nrevealed that bariatric surgery also resulted in mean body mass index
\nreductions of 7 kg\/m2 and median excess weight loss of 55% after an average of
\nfive years.<\/span><\/p>\n
