The role of bariatric surgery in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Medical treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and class II and above obesity (body mass index greater than 35 kg/m 2 ) are currently limited to treatment of diabetes and prevention of its vascular complications.

This editorial examines the current evidence for the impact of bariatric surgery on weight loss and type 2 diabetes.
