Jejunal nutrient sensing is required for duodenal-jejunal bypass surgery to rapidly lower glucose concentrations in uncontrolled diabetes. Nat Med. 2012;18:950-5. This paper corroborates previous findings of weight-independent mechanisms of action of duodenal bypass surgery and shows how reduced glucose production in the liver, activated by intestinal nutrient sensing can play a role in the anti-diabetic effect of duodenal exclusion. Of note, this study also shows glucose lowering effect of duodenal bypass surgery also in rodent models of type 1 diabetes, therefore suggesting that insulin-independent GI mechanisms might be a plausible target for future treatments of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The study shows that surgery achieves better glycemic control than medical therapy.

This is a RCT comparing two surgical procedures, RYGB and BPD, vs medical treatment of type 2 diabetes in severely obese patients. The study shows that both surgical procedures outperform medical therapy at 2-year after treatment initiation with approx. 80% of RYGB patients and >90% of BPD patients achieving remission of diabetes.

N Engl J Med. 2012;366:1567-76. This is a RCT comparing two surgical procedures, RYGB and sleeve gastrectomy, vs intensive medical treatment of type 2 diabetes in patients with BMI 30-40. The study shows that both surgical procedures achieve better glycemic control compared medical therapy at 1-year after treatment initiation, with 42% of RYGB patients achieving complete disease remission.

The study shows that both RYGB achieves better glycemic/metabolic control than medical therapy at 1 year after treatment initiation.

This is a prospective study of 1156 severely obese patients comparing health outcomes of 3 groups of patients: one that sought and received RYGB surgery, one that sought but did not have surgery, and one where patients were randomly selected from a population-based sample not seeking weight loss surgery. The study shows that compared to non-surgical management, RYGB surgery is associated with higher rates of diabetes remission and lower risk of cardiovascular disease over 6 years.
