In this review of major diabetes-focused studies, the scientists found that 8 out of 10 bariatric surgery patients eventually came out of diabetes “remission”—even though they experienced major improvements in blood sugar directly following the procedure.

The authors note that the surgery doesn’t do enough to correct diet and lifestyle behaviors that contribute to type 2 diabetes.
