Bar chart showing the percentage of patients who achieved HbA1c of <6.0% (navy bars) and <6.5% (orange bars) at five years in surgery group (n = 134) and non-surgery group (n = 115). The surgery group shows substantially higher proportions of patients reaching both glycaemic thresholds compared to the non-surgery group.
