Over the last decade, bariatric surgery has come to be recognised for its effects beyond weight loss. The long-term results of the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study have shown an effect on disease risk, morbidity and mortality [1]. Importantly, there are also clear effects on both preventing the onset of diabetes in obese cohorts, and in producing substantial improvements in glucose homeostasis in those with pre-operative diabetes. This considerable effect facilitates the achievement of treatment targets by diabetic individuals with less medication [2–5]. Understandably, there is increasing interest in the role of bariatric surgery in the management of type 2 diabetes. Previous discussions focused on remission of diabetes and the tantalising prospect of a ‘diabetes cure’. However, we know now that while partial remission rates of diabetes 2 years post-operatively can be impressively high, no procedure has been shown to achieve complete remission in patients with diabetes at 5 years within the setting of a randomised controlled trial (RCT)[2–5]. Therefore, the focus has rightly shifted towards the concept of surgery as an adjunctive glycaemic therapy for those who cannot meet their treatment targets with non-surgical therapy alone, and how multimodal medical therapies can be used to optimise the long-term outcomes after surgery.Over the last 4 years, several major RCTs have established the efficacy of bariatric surgery, and specifically Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy and biliopancreatic diversion, in achieving glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes [2–5]. In this issue of Diabetologia [6], the findings of the Calorie Reduction Or Surgery: Seeking to Reduce Obesity And Diabetes Study (CROSSROADS) study, comparing the very best non-surgical care with RYGB, now add to these results. In all of the previous studies, medical care in combination with bariatric surgery was more effective than medical therapy alone at achieving glycaemic control. In association with the improvements in glycaemic control, surgical recipients demonstrated improvements in blood pressure and serum lipids. These improvements were greater, and achieved with fewer drugs, than those achieved with medication alone. Most of the beneficial effects in the initial studies were durable for up to 5 years after surgery. In the CROSSROADS study, intensive lifestyle interventions, including prescribed exercise and dietary plans, were used. The study was very successful in achieving weight loss and reducing markers of metabolic dysfunction, including HbA1c and fasting insulin concentrations in both arms. However, in keeping with previous studies on the effect of intensive lifestyle interventions on metabolic control in diabetes, and on weight loss, the initial improvements were not sustainable without the addition of surgery. After 6 months the initial improvements achieved in the intensive lifestyle
