Remission was greater in younger participants and those with shorter diabetes duration, higher C-peptide levels, higher HOMA %B, and lower insulin usage at baseline.
Younger patients and those with better baseline metabolic health may achieve better outcomes post-surgery.

Following both procedures, remission was greater in younger participants and those with shorter diabetes duration, higher C-peptide levels, higher homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA %B), and lower insulin usage at baseline.
Why this rating
Based on the observational cohort study design with a large sample size.

- Diabetes remission occurred in 57% (46% complete, 11% partial) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and 22.5% (16.9% complete, 5.6% partial) after laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB).Strong
- Controlling for weight lost, diabetes remission remained nearly 4-fold higher after RYGB compared with LAGB.Strong
