Core Tip

Core Tip: Bariatric surgery is a type of treatment that can improve the metabolic status and prognosis of patients with obesity and diabetes comorbidities. Bariatric surgery could alleviate obesity and has a positive effect on metabolism in diabetes animal models and diabetes patients, suggesting that the recommended frequency of bariatric surgery for diabetic and obese comorbid patients should be increased.
