Kaplan-Meier curves showing the long-term effect of preoperative antidiabetic medication, insulin, and GLP-1 on diabetes remission (percent) for up to 6 years after RYGB surgery. (A) GLP-1 had no significant (NS) effect on diabetes remission in patients using antidiabetic medication compared with patients using just antidiabetic medication (control). (B) GLP-1 significantly improved the chances of diabetes remission in patients using combination therapy of antidiabetic medication plus insulin, compared with patients using just combination therapy of antidiabetic medication plus insulin (control, *log-rank P = 0.016). Patients were in partial or complete diabetes remission.
