The management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) after a gastric bypass or a sleeve gastrectomy requires some cautions depending on the timing after the surgical procedure and the patient evolution. Even before the intervention, gliflozins should be interrupted to avoid euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis while sulphonylureas should be stopped and insulin doses should be reduced (with caution) to limit the risk of hypoglycemia. If a remission of T2D occurs, the maintenance of metformin or of a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist should be considered with the main objective to prolong the remission. Finally, if T2D remains or if a relapse occurs, the management of hyperglycemia should a priori follow the same rules as those used for patients with T2D who are not treated with bariatric/metabolic surgery.
