Midterm effects of bariatric surgery in patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes

In insulin-treated patients with T2DM, BS is associated with a low likelihood of midterm diabetes remission. Overall, in this group of patients, the marked initial improvement of glycemic control and insulin independence are of limited durability. In addition, in this group of patients, the need for prandrial insulin and lower postsurgical weight loss may hamper the beneficial effects of BS on glycemic control.
