In severely obese patients with type 2 diabetes, bariatric surgery resulted in better glucose control than did medical therapy.

Preoperative BMI and weight loss did not predict the improvement in hyperglycemia after these procedures. (Funded by Catholic University of Rome; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00888836.).
