The Impact of Rapid Weight Loss after Bariatric Surgery on Insulin Resistance Measured by the Triglyceride/HDL-Cholesterol Ratio and the Triglyceride-Glucose Index

Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the causes of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in severely obese subjects. IR can be assessed by measuring the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c ratio) as well as by estimating the triglyceride to glucose index (TyG index). The aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery (BaS) on insulin resistance, and its relationship with better glycemic control in severely obese subjects with T2DM.
