(4/4, Kaiser) reports, "Before sending obese patients with type 2
diabetes to bariatric surgery, clinicians should consider a number of
factors, according to a statement from the Endocrine Society." MedPage
Today adds, "The statement is a response to two studies published last
week that found positive results for obese diabetic patients who
underwent one of three different surgical procedures compared with
patients on medical therapy alone." The statement pointed out which
patients with type 2 diabetes are appropriate
candidates for bariatric surgery, saying that "clinicians should
carefully assess patients' body mass index (BMI) and age, how long
they've had diabetes, and how well they would be able to comply with
long-term lifestyle changes."

Lifestyle Intervention May Help Reduce Mobility Loss In Patients With Diabetes.
MedWire
(4/4, Robertson) reports, "Intensive lifestyle intervention leads to a
significant reduction in the severity of mobility-related disability
compared with diabetes support and education," according to a study
published March 29 in the New England Journal of Medicine. After
assigning "5,016 overweight and obese adults with diabetes to
participate in either an intensive lifestyle intervention (n=2514) or a
diabetes support and
education program (n=2502) as part of the Look AHEAD (Action for Health
in Diabetes) study," researchers found that "a significantly higher
proportion of participants in the lifestyle intervention group than in
the support group had good mobility during all four years."
