Abstract
Purpose of Review
The number of bariatric surgeries for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes continues to grow. Clinicians are challenged to choose therapies that reach glycemic targets without inducing adverse effects in post-bariatric patients without published guidelines. This review evaluates data supporting the best strategies for diabetes management in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
Recent Findings
Though few clinical trials have evaluated the safety and effectiveness of different glucose-lowering therapies following bariatric surgery, remission of diabetes or reduced medications is an established benefit of bariatric surgery. Adverse events including diabetic ketoacidosis in post-bariatric patients on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors or inadequate insulin have been reported in patient's with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Metformin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin, and sulfonylureas have been used successfully in the perioperative period for other surgeries and guidelines recommend adjusting the doses of these medications especially in the perioperative period.
Summary
Clinicians should favor weight-neutral or weight-loss promoting therapies in post-bariatric surgery patients such as medical nutrition therapy, metformin, GLP-1 agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and DPP-4 inhibitors.
