ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an epidemic health problem. Approximately, 90 percent of diabetic patients are overweight or are obese. The current increase in the prevalence of obesity has been associated with an increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obese patients in terms of controlling weight and co-morbidities. Sustained normal plasma concentration of glucose has been reported in most diabetic morbid obese patients, which has been managed surgically. Available data show a significant alteration in the production of some gastrointestinal hormones, which might explain the improvement of glucose metabolism following these procedures. Diabetic patient improvements following some bariatric surgeries seems to be an independent factor unrelated to the amount of weight loss. The authors reviewed data published on the effects of bariatric surgery in diabetic patient improvements and the possible mechanisms responsible for this control.
