Medical treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and class II and above obesity (body mass index greater than 35 kg/m2) are currently limited to treatment of diabetes and prevention of its vascular complications. Bariatric surgery is by far the most effective treatment not only for weight loss, but also for improvement or remission of diabetes. This editorial examines the current evidence for the impact of bariatric surgery on weight loss and type 2 diabetes.
对于2型糖尿病合并II级及以上肥胖（体重指数大于35kg/m²）的患者，目前的医学治疗仅限于糖尿病治疗及其血管并发症的预防。到目前为止，减肥手术不仅是最有效的减肥方法，也是改善或缓解糖尿病的最有效方法。这篇社论探讨了减肥手术对体重减轻和2型糖尿病影响的现有证据。
