Diabetes Considered major public health problem – emerging as a world wide pandemic.

!!! One patient required insulin preop, at 6 months she was no longer on insulin and all lab work was normal She became pregnant at 6 months following surgery Her diabetes returned and her insulin requirement is at the pre-op level It is unclear whether she had resolution of her T2DM or had developed gestational diabetes requiring insulin for her pregnancy at the 1-year follow-up
!!! Our Study- 1 year follow-up 5 patients (71%) T2DM > 10 years (10-19) 1 pre oral/insulin-free from medication at 1 yr 2 required less dosages All 5 patients –no symptoms and improved state of health
!!! 2 patients with c-peptide <1, the HbA1c increased following the procedure Both patients had decreased in medication requirements

Complications 1 death  2 intestinal obstruction 1 pos-operative pancreatitis 2 intracavitary bleeding Cohen, Duodenojejunal bypass for the treatment of T2DM in patients with BMI from 22 to 34. (Nevis).
Results HbA1c decreasing from 8.9 to 6.1 and 72.3% 72.3% of patients had control of their hypertension: reduced sympathetic outflow? 13/35 patients reported food intolerance: 8/13 required admission (no women) Oral Ginger and sildenafil are very helpful  75% complained of post-prandial sleepiness These side effects may be attributed to gastroparesis and the postulated diminished sympathetic outflow, a result of central leptin suppression and duodenal bypass Cohen, Duodenojejunal bypass for the treatment of T2DM in patients with BMI from 22 to 34. (Nevis)
Interim Conclusions Very promising initial experience.  The vast majority of insulin users do not use it anymore very early in the post-op.  In most of those patients with overweight or grade 1 obesity, weight loss is not a major player regarding the control of T2DM, as some had no weight modification or regained weight and there was no recurrence.  In patients with higher BMIs, but still under 35 (32-35), it seems that major weight loss is needed to achieve control of T2DM.
Interim Conclusions What are the correct inclusion/exclusion criteria? Should we cut off at 8, 9, 10 years? Time of T2DM history does not seem important, but C peptide below 1 YES!!!
Interim Conclusions Don ’t  rush to withdraw medication.  We add an incretin effect, but METFORMIN helps to decrease hepatic defective glucose production.  What  is  the antidiabetes mechanism?  Cold pressor test before and after duodenal exclusion to assess sympathetic response ?
Interim Conclusions What are the appropriate limb lengths? 50/80? Is it necessary to bypass the entire duodenum?  If yes, how can we assess that? Does it make any difference?  Do we need complex operations in this subset of patients? Are the mortality/ complication rates reasonable?  Will an added sleeve gastrectomy in selected patients be needed to avoid gastroparesis, mainly in those with BMI>32?  Or is a LRYGB more adequate?

In 1995 ~ 135 million people worldwide Expected to rise to close to 300 million by 2025 CDC (2008) cases of diabetes have increased to 15% in just the past two years 1998-Annual direct health care cost was estimated to be $60 billion in US Complications Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) accounts for 20-30% 10% of cerebral vascular accident Cardiovascular disease accounts for 50% of total mortality 1.

    How Does BariatricSurgery Effect glucose homeostasis? Intestinal Malabsorption? Weight loss reduces insulin resistance Glucose malabsorption reduces stress on islet cells Fat malabsorption reduces circulating free fatty acids and improves insulin sensitivity Hormonal Changes? Re-routing of food alters the dynamic of gut-hormone secretion Decrease in plasma levels of leptin & insulin Increased levels of adiponectin & peptide YY3-36 Increased levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) Rearrangement of GI anatomy? “ Hindgut hypothesis” “ Foregut hypothesis”

    Results HbA1c decreasingfrom 8.9 to 6.1 and 72.3% 72.3% of patients had control of their hypertension: reduced sympathetic outflow? 13/35 patients reported food intolerance: 8/13 required admission (no women) Oral Ginger and sildenafil are very helpful 75% complained of post-prandial sleepiness These side effects may be attributed to gastroparesis and the postulated diminished sympathetic outflow, a result of central leptin suppression and duodenal bypass Cohen, Duodenojejunal bypass for the treatment of T2DM in patients with BMI from 22 to 34.

    Interim Conclusions Verypromising initial experience. The vast majority of insulin users do not use it anymore very early in the post-op. In most of those patients with overweight or grade 1 obesity, weight loss is not a major player regarding the control of T2DM, as some had no weight modification or regained weight and there was no recurrence. In patients with higher BMIs, but still under 35 (32-35), it seems that major weight loss is needed to achieve control of T2DM.

    Interim Conclusions Whatare the correct inclusion/exclusion criteria? Should we cut off at 8, 9, 10 years? Time of T2DM history does not seem important, but C peptide below 1 YES!!!

    Interim Conclusions Don’t rush to withdraw medication. We add an incretin effect, but METFORMIN helps to decrease hepatic defective glucose production. What is the antidiabetes mechanism? Cold pressor test before and after duodenal exclusion to assess sympathetic response ?

    Interim Conclusions Whatare the appropriate limb lengths? 50/80? Is it necessary to bypass the entire duodenum? If yes, how can we assess that? Does it make any difference? Do we need complex operations in this subset of patients? Are the mortality/ complication rates reasonable? Will an added sleeve gastrectomy in selected patients be needed to avoid gastroparesis, mainly in those with BMI>32? Or is a LRYGB more adequate?
