Brief summary

The SIT-DOWN study is a single centered retrospective study in which a total of 90 (ninety) participants who are overweight (BMI: 25-29.9 kg/m2) and have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will be evaluated for the efficacy of surgical intervention in comparison with medical treatment. Primary endpoint of the study will be the change in glycemic regulation by the end of 12 months.

Detailed description

Use of bariatric/metabolic surgery has conventionally been reserved for those whose body-mass index (BMI) is 35 kg/m2 or greater. Trials in these morbidly obese patients confirmed the benefits in terms of weight loss and provide evidence that surgery can result in remission of diabetes, and as a result lead to improvement in cardiovascular risk factors. Within the light of these data, there appear to be a shift towards lower BMI, with many advocating it as a reasonable option for diabetics with a lower BMI (\<30) who have failed other attempts of medical treatment. But this approach is limited because of lack of data on the effects of surgical outcomes in this group of patients which is the main rationale for this retrospective study.

Interventions

PROCEDURESleeve Gastrectomy with Ileal Transposition

Type 2 diabetic patients who underwent ileal transposition surgery within the last 2 years.

Type 2 diabetic patients who underwent transit bipartition surgery within the last 2 years.

OTHERMedical Treatment

Conventional Non-Surgical Treatment for Glycemic Control group consisted of patients who did not undergo any kind of surgery, and are on medical treatment for type 2 diabetes.
