Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Of the 58 patients, 48 had stopped taking all hypoglycemic drug treatments and had achieved complete remission (82.8%). Seven patients were unable to completely withdraw from hypoglycemic agents, although their intake of drugs was reduced at least 50% compared to pre-surgical values (12.0%). Three of the cases showed no significant change in blood glucose after surgery (5.2%). In addition, values for fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and HOMA-IR significantly decreased after surgery. Values for fasting plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 significantly increased after surgery, and the body mass index at the sixth post-operative month were significantly lower than pre-operative. CONCLUSION:
