Authors of the paper ?Diabetes mellitus ? time to change the concept? (Diabetes Mellitus, 2013; №1: 91) address weight-reduction treatment modalities (including bariatric surgery) as the pivotal approach to type 2 diabetes management. While acknowledging the importance of weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), this short letter aims to advise the endocrinology community against viewing bariatric surgery as the ultimate solution of all challenges of T2DM.
