Preoperative fasting plasma C-peptide was predictive of increased chance of remission of type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery (pooled difference in means = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.61 to 1.25, p < .001).
Practitioners may consider preoperative fasting C-peptide levels as a significant predictor for diabetes remission post-surgery.
