This study aimed to investigate the effect of treatment with once-weekly semaglutide after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also examined the effects of combined use with a low-energy, high-protein formula diet (FD).</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>This study was a single-center retrospective database analysis. We enrolled 29 Japanese patients with T2D who underwent LSG, and more than 12 months later received semaglutide. The patients were divided retrospectively into a FD group (=6) and a conventional diet (CD) group (n = 23).</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>BMI and HbA1c decreased significantly by 10.7 kg/m² and 1.1 %, respectively, 12 months after LSG, and decreased by an additional 1.6 kg/m² and 0.6 % after 12-months of treatment with semaglutide. Decreases in serum albumin, vitamin B12 and zinc were observed only after semaglutide administration. A ratio of energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates changed from 13:31:56 before to 19:30:50 after LSG, and from 17:32:51 before to 15:29:56 after semaglutide. Skeletal muscle ratio, which is the ratio of skeletal muscle mass to body weight, increased after LSG, but did not change after semaglutide.
