This document discusses the effects of duodenal-jejunal bypass surgery on non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes. It summarizes that clinical improvement in diabetes indicators like blood glucose and HbA1c levels precedes significant weight loss after the surgery. The surgery is believed to directly impact diabetes through hormonal changes and rearrangement of gastrointestinal anatomy, rather than just indirectly through weight loss. Specifically, bypassing the duodenum and proximal jejunum has been shown to control type 2 diabetes in non-obese animal models by altering gut hormone secretion like GLP-1.
