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.

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.
