- It involved 232 patients who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, showing significant metabolic improvements and varying rates of diabetes remission.
- Results indicated that nearly half achieved complete remission, and quality of life scores were positive, with the surgery leading to improved well-being overall.
