Gastric bypass surgery is more effective than sleeve gastrectomy for remission of type 2 diabetes, according to trial results a year after surgery.

In the trial, known as Oseberg, the chance of remission at one year was 57% higher in the 54 patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes randomised to gastric bypass, compared with 55 similar patients randomised to gastric sleeve surgery.
