Abstract
With the increased prevalence of obesity, the phenotype of T1DM has changed. The prevalence of obesity in pts with T1DM is increasing, but there is limited data on how it compares to pts with T2DM. Bariatric surgery is effective for glycemic, weight and cardiometabolic risk surrogate amelioration in T2DM with obesity. However, the role of bariatric surgery in T1DM with obesity is largely unexplored. Retrospective chart review was done of patients with T1DM seen in Ochsner clinic system from January 2015 to January 2018. Obesity prevalence was quantified. Pts with bariatric surgery (BS) history were identified and their cardiometabolic surrogates pre and post BS were obtained. This was compared to pts with T2DM over the same time period. More in depth chart analysis of 300 pts from this cohort of T1DM pts was done to better characterize features of these pts 10, 282 pts with T1DM were identified over the observation period vs. 146,617 pts with T2DM. The prevalence of obesity in the T1DM cohort was 48.3% vs. 59.7% in the T2DM cohort while the prevalence of morbid obesity was 14.5% vs. 19% in the T1DM vs. T2DM groups. The number of pts who had bariatric surgery was 25 vs. 307 in the T1DM vs. T2DM groups. The percentage utilization of bariatric surgery as an intervention for obesity was very low in both cohorts (0.5 vs. 0.35 % in the T1DM vs. T2DM groups). Of the 300 pts with detailed chart review, actual diabetes subtypes were 163 (54%) T1DM, 43 (14.3%) as LADA, 1 (0.3%) as maturity-onset diabetes of the young, 2 (0.7%) as type 1.5 (essentially LADA), 8 (2.7%) as type 1+2 (T1DM with obesity and insulin resistance), 11 (3.7%) deceased, 71 (23.7%) as T2DM that had been miscoded as T1DM. For subsequent analyses, T1DM, LADA, type 1.5, and type 1+2 were included in the T1DM cohort. The weight and cardiometabolic surrogate changes in T1DM subjects were inconsistent and less marked than in T2DM subjects. Obesity prevalence in T1DM is close to that in T2DM and the use of bariatric surgery as an intervention remains very low both in T1DM and T2DM pts with obesity. Disclosure W. A. West: None. K. G.
