Highlight
- Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) achieved diabetes remission in 58% of patients versus 3% with medical-lifestyle therapy over 11 years.
- Shorter diabetes duration and absence of insulin use strongly predict sustained remission post-MBS.
- Early weight loss within one year post-MBS is a critical factor associated with remission success.
- Longer diabetes duration and more glucose-lowering medications increase risk of relapse after remission.
