Figure. Proportion of Patients With Remission and Cure of Type 2 Diabetes Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass by DiaRem Score
Partial remission indicates no medications, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level less than 6.5% of total hemoglobin (to convert to proportion of total hemoglobin, multiply by 0.01), fasting glucose level less than 125 mg/dL (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555), and no active treatment or procedures for at least 1 year. Prolonged partial remission indicates no medications, HbA1c level less than 6.5% of total hemoglobin, fasting glucose level less than 125 mg/dL, and no active treatment or procedures for at least 5 years. Complete remission indicates no medications, HbA1c level less than 5.7% of total hemoglobin, fasting glucose level less than 100 mg/dL, and no active treatment or procedures for at least 1 year. Diabetes cure indicates no medications, HbA1c level less than 5.7% of total hemoglobin, fasting glucose level less than 100 mg/dL, and no active treatment or procedures for at least 5 years.
