ConclusionsInternational Diabetes Federation position statement 2011:“Surgery should be an accepted option in people who have T2DM and BMI of 35
more. Surgery should be considered as an alternative treatment option in persons with BMI 30 to 35 when diabetes cannot be adequately controlled by optimal medical regimen, especially in the presence of other major cardiovascular disease risk factors.”
Evidence from the recent studies:• A shorter history of diabetes with less number of insulin using patients, a
better -cell function prior to metabolic surgery resulted in greater remission rate of diabetes.
• Furthermore, BMI alone is not an adequate measure to define the overall risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with T2DM.
• However, there is no strong evidence describing the durability of metabolic surgery in long-term follow-up.
Summary and recommendations
• For patients with BMI30–35 who do not achieve substantial and durable weight and co-morbidity improvement with non surgical methods, bariatric surgery should be an available option for suitable individuals.
• The existing cut off of BMI,which excludes those with class I obesity, was established arbitrarily nearly 20 years ago.
• There is no current justification on grounds of evidence of clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, ethics, or equity that this group should be excluded from life-saving treatment.
• Gastric banding,sleeve gastrectomy,and gastric bypass have been shown in RCTs to be well-tolerated and effective treatment for patients with BMI30–35 in the short and medium term.
