Abstract

Symposium 9: Hepatic involvement in diabetes: beyond the liver

The impact of metabolic surgery on diabetes and fatty liver

The Second Diabetes Surgery Summit (DSS II) formally recognized gastrointestinal surgery, also known as Metabolic Surgery (MC), as treatment for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) patients with obesity. This treatment has been added to the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes from the ADA in 2017. 

Studies show that performing surgeries on the digestive system can have beneficial consequences on glucose's homeostasis, regardless of weight loss.  Surgery improves glucose's levels on blood with greater effectiveness than any lifestyle change and/or medication, and produces remission of T2D in most patients, especially if candidates to MC are carefully selected.
