Metabolic adaptation
Diabetes remission occurred in five GB participants and no medical participants (relative risk 0.76, 95% CI: 0.55-0.93, p = .048).
GB surgery may increase the likelihood of diabetes remission in overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes.

- Gastric band (GB) surgery achieved a median weight loss of 9.8% at 10 years compared to 5.6% in the medical group (median difference 4.2%; p = .008).Strong
- GB participants used fewer glucose-lowering medications at 10 years, but HbA1c, fasting glucose, calculated cardiovascular risk, quality-of-life, and incident diabetes complications did not differ significantly between the groups.Strong
