Evidence (coded as: evidence from https://fevir.net/resources/CodeSystem/179423)ADA Level of Evidence A. A substantial body of evidence has now been accumulated, including data from numerous randomized controlled (nonblinded) clinical trials, demonstrating that metabolic surgery achieves superior glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity compared with various lifestyle/medical interventions.undefined
Summary of Findings (coded as: summary-of-findings from https://fevir.net/resources/CodeSystem/179423)ADA Level of Evidence A. A substantial body of evidence has now been accumulated, including data from numerous randomized controlled (nonblinded) clinical trials, demonstrating that metabolic surgery achieves superior glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity compared with various lifestyle/medical interventions.undefined
Discussion (coded as: discussion from https://fevir.net/resources/CodeSystem/179423)A substantial body of evidence has now been accumulated, including data from numerous randomized controlled (nonblinded) clinical trials, demonstrating that metabolic surgery achieves superior glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity compared with various lifestyle/medical interventions.
In extended follow-up of obese adults with type 2 diabetes randomized to adding gastric bypass compared with lifestyle and intensive medical management alone, there remained a significantly better composite triple end point in the surgical group at 5 years. However, because the effect size diminished over 5 years, further follow-up is needed to understand the durability of the improvement.		undefined
Competing Interests (coded as: competing-interests from https://fevir.net/resources/CodeSystem/179423)All members of the PPC are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest with industry and other relevant organizations. These disclosures are discussed at the outset of each Standards of Care revision meeting. Members of the committee, their employers, and their disclosed conflicts of interest are listed in 'Disclosures: Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2021' (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc21-SPPC). The ADA funds development of the Standards of Care out of its general revenues and does not use industry support for this purpose.
