The effect of small bowel bypass on diabetes mellitus

Abstract: The effect of jejunoileostomy on fasting blood sugar, glucose tolerance, hypoglycaemic therapy and weight reduction has been studied in 13 massively obese diabetic patients. The average weight reduction was 36.7 per cent of the preoperative body weight. As a result, 12 patients resumed normal fasting blood sugars and 8 showed normal glucose tolerance tests. A significant improvement in the glucose tolerance tests of the remaining 5 patients was seen. None of the patients required long term hypoglycaemic therap… Show more

“…Weight loss consequent on decreased food intake has been considered the only factor responsible for the improvement of glucose tolerance in obese diabetic patients after in testinal bypass [4,10,29]; however, in our study the DBR gained weight and at the same time maintained improved glucose metabo lism during the whole of the 3-month follow up period.…”

“…Several reports put forward the possibility of severe complications with JIB, like diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance and he patic failure [13,27], In spite of this many surgeons after long-term experience with JIB affirm that bypass operations can give excel lent results [6,16]. Besides a severe reduction in weight, JIB has a beneficial effect upon the control of diabetes in obese diabetic patients restoring a normal glucose tolerance [1,10,29].…”
