"Bariatric Surgery versus Intensive Medical Therapy for Diabetes — 3-Year Outcomes"
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1401329
"CONCLUSIONS
Among obese patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, 3 years of intensive medical therapy plus bariatric surgery resulted in glycemic control in significantly more patients than did medical therapy alone. Analyses of secondary end points, including body weight, use of glucose-lowering medications, and quality of life, also showed favorable results at 3 years in the surgical groups, as compared with the group receiving medical therapy alone.
