"Bariatric Surgery Outperforms Medical Interventions for Long-Term Type 2 Diabetes Control"

A study supported by the National Institutes of Health found that people with type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgery achieved better long-term blood glucose control and higher rates of diabetes remission compared to those who received medical management and lifestyle interventions. The study, published in JAMA, combined data from four trials and showed that bariatric surgery resulted in greater weight loss and improved blood glucose control, with significant differences between the surgery and medical/lifestyle groups lasting up to 12 years. The study also highlighted the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery for individuals with lower obesity ranges and emphasized the importance of continued monitoring for nutritional deficiencies in those who undergo surgery.

Plant-based diet may aid in diabetes remission.

A lifestyle intervention that includes a whole-food, plant-predominant diet could lead to type 2 diabetes remission, according to a new study. Patients who followed a plant-based eating pattern showed improvements in blood glucose control, and 37% of the individuals in the study achieved full diabetes remission. Plant-predominant diets may help with the reversal of insulin resistance, and they are associated with improved insulin sensitivity. Along with adopting healthier eating habits, weight loss, exercise, stress reduction, and avoiding alcohol can help treat diabetes.

Optimizing Exercise Timing for Better Diabetes Management.

Afternoon physical activity can significantly improve blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes patients, according to a study by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Joslin Diabetes Center. Using data from the Look AHEAD study, the team found that those most active in the afternoons had the greatest blood glucose reduction and were most likely to stop diabetes medications. The study suggests that timing of physical activity may be important in managing diabetes.

Revolutionary Diabetes Technology Improves Blood Sugar Control in Children.

Children aged 2 to 5 with type 1 diabetes who received an artificial pancreas had more stable blood glucose levels than those who received standard care, resulting in about three hours a day of better blood glucose control, with the largest benefit seen at nighttime. The study, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, used telemedicine to teach families how to use the device, suggesting this technology could be made available to people in areas without nearby specialty care. Additional studies are needed to see if the benefits of the artificial pancreas observed over the 13 weeks of the trial are sustained in the long term.
