Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term results after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and severe obesity is still being debated. OBJECTIVE Retrospective evaluation of the long-term metabolic and clinical conditions of patients with T2D following BPD. SETTING University hospital. METHODS A total of 173 patients with T2D and severe obesity were investigated prior to and at 3-5 and 10-20 years after BPD. Anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical findings preoperatively and throughout follow-up were considered. The long-term data were compared with those of a cohort of 173 T2D patients with obesity treated with conventional therapy. RESULTS T2D resolved within the first postoperative phases in most patients, and in the long and very long term, the fasting blood glucose level remained above the normal range in only 8% of patients. Likewise, a stable improvement of blood lipid pattern was observed (follow-up rate 63%). In contrast, in nonsurgical patients in the long term, the glucose and lipid metabolic parameters remained in the pathologic range in all cases. In the BPD group, a very high number of severe BPD-related complications was recorded, and 27% of the BPD patients died, whereas in the control group, 87% of patients were still alive at the end of the follow-up period (P < .02). CONCLUSION Despite the high T2D stable resolution rate and the normalization of most metabolic data at 10-20 years following surgery, these results indicate that BPD should be indicated with caution in the surgical treatment of T2D in patients with severe obesity.

Abstract
Several models have been proposed to describe the glucose system at whole-body, organ/tissue and cellular level, designed to measure non-accessible parameters (minimal models), to simulate system behavior and run in silico clinical trials (maximal models). Here, we will review the authors' work, by putting it into a concise historical background. We will discuss first the parametric portrait provided by the oral minimal models-building on the classical intravenous glucose tolerance test minimal models-to measure otherwise non-accessible key parameters like insulin sensitivity and beta-cell responsivity from a physiological oral test, the mixed meal or the oral glucose tolerance tests, and what can be gained by adding a tracer to the oral glucose dose. These models were used in various pathophysiological studies, which we will briefly review. A deeper understanding of insulin sensitivity can be gained by measuring insulin action in the skeletal muscle. This requires the use of isotopic tracers: both the classical multiple-tracer dilution and the positron emission tomography techniques are discussed, which quantitate the effect of insulin on the individual steps of glucose metabolism, that is, bidirectional transport plasma-interstitium, and phosphorylation. Finally, we will present a cellular model of insulin secretion that, using a multiscale modeling approach, highlights the relations between minimal model indices and subcellular secretory events. In terms of maximal models, we will move from a parametric to a flux portrait of the system by discussing the triple tracer meal protocol implemented with the tracer-to-tracee clamp technique. This allows to arrive at quasi-model independent measurement of glucose rate of appearance (Ra), endogenous glucose production (EGP), and glucose rate of disappearance (Rd). Both the fast absorbing simple carbs and the slow absorbing complex carbs are discussed. This rich data base has allowed us to build the UVA/Padova Type 1 diabetes and the Padova Type 2 diabetes large scale simulators. In particular, the UVA/Padova Type 1 simulator proved to be a very useful tool to safely and effectively test in silico closed-loop control algorithms for an artificial pancreas (AP). This was the first and unique simulator of the glucose system accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a substitute to animal trials for in silico testing AP algorithms. Recent uses of the simulator have looked at glucose sensors for non-adjunctive use and new insulin molecules.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of hyperglycemia observed in most forms of diabetes is intimately tied to the islet β cell. Impairments in propeptide processing and secretory function, along with the loss of these vital cells, is demonstrable not only in those in whom the diagnosis is established but typically also in individuals who are at increased risk of developing the disease. Biomarkers are used to inform on the state of a biological process, pathological condition, or response to an intervention and are increasingly being used for predicting, diagnosing, and prognosticating disease. They are also proving to be of use in the different forms of diabetes in both research and clinical settings. This review focuses on the β cell, addressing the potential utility of genetic markers, circulating molecules, immune cell phenotyping, and imaging approaches as biomarkers of cellular function and loss of this critical cell. Further, we consider how these biomarkers complement the more long-established, dynamic, and often complex measurements of β-cell secretory function that themselves could be considered biomarkers.
