Introduction: obesity is a serious growing medical problem in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). Insulin replacement is the only available therapy for these patients with DM1 and the main problems associated with it are hypoglycemia and weight gain. Bariatric surgery (BS) showed improvement in glycemic control in type 2 but only few cases of DM1 have been reported.
Objectives: to evaluate changes in metabolic parameters in obese DM1 patients who underwent BS.
Materials and methods: retrospectively, the clinical histories of seven patients with DM1 and obesity who were treated with CB were evaluated. The Wilcoxon test was used for paired samples in order to assess the difference between the pre-surgery data and one year after it.
Results: seven patients DM1 were evaluated. The median age was 48 years (IQR 45 to 49). The median body mass index at baseline and at follow-up were 39.6 Kg/m (IQR 35 to 42) and 24.9 Kg/m2 (IQR 24.7 to 29.5) respectively. The median glycated hemoglobin at baseline and at follow-up were 9.3% (IQR 8.3 to 10.5) and 7.2% (IQR 6.7 to 8.8) respectively. The median insulin requirements before and after BS were 110 UI (IQR 70 a 120) and 24 UI (IQR 16 a 30). All differences were statistically significant (p value<0.05).
Conclusions: our findings encourage considering BS as a tool in type 1 obese diabetic patients in terms to improve management of glycemic control and body weight.
