A model for predicting the resolution of type 2 diabetes in severely obese subjects following Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery.

Background: Severely obese type 2 diabetics who undergo Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery have significant improvements in glycaemic control. Little work has been undertaken to establish the independent predictors of such resolution or to develop a predictive model. The aim of this study was to develop a mathematical model and establish independent predictors for the resolution of diabetes.
