TL;DR: In severely obese patients with type 2 diabetes, bariatric surgery resulted in better glucose control than did medical therapy and preoperative BMI and weight loss did not predict the improvement in hyperglycemia after these procedures.

TL;DR: The investigators concluded that bariatric surgery is a potentially beneficial intervention for management of uncontrolled diabetes because it eliminated the need for diabetic medications in some patients and impressively reduced theneed for drug therapy in others.

TL;DR: The maternal genetic/epigenetic transmission shows a clear sexual dimorphism, with male offspring having a higher value of insulin sensitivity (although not statistically significant) associated with significantly higher insulin secretion than female offspring.

TL;DR: Renal and cardiovascular complications were dramatically reduced in the surgical arm, indicating long-term benefits of BPD on diabetic complications, at least in the case of morbid obesity with decompensated type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: An incretin circadian rhythm was shown for the first time in morbid obesity and could not be overcome by surgery in diabetes, suggesting a role in insulin resistance and diabetes.
