PG - 529-35 LID - 10.1007/s11695-013-1114-9 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: There are a dearth of studies comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and intensive medical treatment (IMT) in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This study compares these modalities in terms of weight loss, metabolic parameters and quality of life (QOL) score. METHODS: We evaluated the efficacy of LSG (n = 14) vs. IMT (n = 17) comprising of low calorie diet, exenatide, metformin and if required insulin detemir in 31 obese T2DM patients with BMI of 37.9 +/- 5.3kg/m(2) and target HbA1c < 7 %. The mean (+/-SD) age of the patients was 49.6 +/- 11.9 years and 74 % were women. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.5 +/- 6.1 years and mean HbA1c was 8.6 +/- 1.3 %. Primary end point was excess body weight loss (EBWL) at the final follow-up. RESULTS: The mean duration of follow-up was 12.5 +/- 5.0 (median 12) months. EBWL was 61.2 +/- 17.6 % and 27.4 +/- 23.6 % in LSG and IMT group respectively (p < 0.001). Glycemic outcomes improved in both with mean HbA1c of 6.6 +/- 1.5 % in LSG and 7.1 +/- 1.2 % in IMT group. In LSG group, there was resolution of diabetes and hypertension in 36 and 29 % of patients respectively while none in the IMT group. HOMA-IR, hsCRP, ghrelin and leptin decreased while adiponectin increased significantly in LSG compared to IMT group. QOL score improved in LSG as compared to IMT. CONCLUSIONS: In obese T2DM patients, LSG is superior to IMT in terms of weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and QOL score.
