Abstract
Obesity is a prevalent cause of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is a serious danger to human health. Type 2 DM (T2DM) mostly occurs along with obesity. Foodborne obesity-induced DM is caused by an excessive long-term diet and surplus energy. Bariatric surgery can improve the symptoms of T2DM in some obese patients. But different types of bariatric surgery may have different effects. There are some models built by researchers to discuss the surgical procedures’ effects on metabolism in diabetes animal models and diabetes patients. It is high time to conclude all this effects and recommend procedures that can better improve metabolism.
Core Tip: Bariatric surgery is a type of treatment that can improve the metabolic status and prognosis of patients with obesity and diabetes comorbidities. Bariatric surgery could alleviate obesity and has a positive effect on metabolism in diabetes animal models and diabetes patients, suggesting that the recommended frequency of bariatric surgery for diabetic and obese comorbid patients should be increased.
