Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Morbid Obesity and Type 1 Diabetes Undergoing Bariatric Surgery

TLDR
Bariatric surgery in patients with T1DM mainly provides benefits of weight reduction, on insulin requirements, obesity comorbidities, and some benefits in diabetes complications, but might have only minimal effect on the glycemic control in the long term.
Abstract
This study aims to describe the long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery in a cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Thirty-two patients with T1DM and initial BMI of 41.3 ± 4.8 kg/m2 were studied, 18.7 % undergoing duodenal switch (DS), 34.4 % gastric bypass, and 46.9 % sleeve gastrectomy and followed-up after surgery for 4.6 ± 2.6 years. Changes in BMI, HbA1c, insulin requirements, evolution of comorbidities, and microvascular complications were registered annually after surgery. Percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) 12 months after surgery was 30.4 ± 9.2 % and at 5 years, it decreased to 28.1 ± 11.5 % (p = 0.02). HbA1c was reduced during the first year from 8.5 ± 1.3 to 7.9 ± 1.4 %, p = 0.016. In the long-term, HbA1c returned to baseline values. There was a sustained reduction of 51 % in total daily insulin dose, and the decrease in the number of patients with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea was 42.8, 25, and 66 %, respectively. Retinopathy remained mainly unaffected, and 25 % of patients with microalbuminuria regressed to normoalbuminuria. Bariatric surgery in patients with T1DM mainly provides benefits of weight reduction, on insulin requirements, obesity comorbidities, and some benefits in diabetes complications, but might have only minimal effect on the glycemic control in the long term. This trial was registered at www.controlledtrials.com as ISRCTN49980913.

Non-pharmacological Treatment Options in the Management of Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: This review summarises the current evidence base for the non-pharmacological interventions in the management of diabetes and finds them useful for the effective management of even type 1 diabetes mellitus when used along with insulin therapy especially in those with obesity.

TL;DR: Pharmacotherapy does not yet play a role that would presumably be necessary in order to improve the results of conservative treatment of obesity, and recently published studies with favorable data support the use of surgical strategies in obese subjects when indicated.

TL;DR: The title “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes” was chosen because in the view of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the recommendations represent what the association considers the “standards” for the care of patients with diabetes.
