    Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) significantly improves glycemic control and can lead to diabetes remission in obese patients.

  • 2

    A systematic review found that 78% of patients achieved diabetes resolution after MBS, with 87% showing improvement.

  • 3

    Younger age, shorter diabetes duration, and absence of insulin therapy are predictors of diabetes remission post-MBS.

  • 4

    This 10-year study aims to assess the long-term prevalence of diabetes remission and identify predictive factors after MBS.

  • 5

    Diabetes remission is defined as HbA1c < 5.7% or fasting glucose < 100 mg/dL without pharmacologic therapy.
