    Morbid obesity, a newly perceived epidemic, is notoriously associated with numerous co-morbidities. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an important issue in this context. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is now a universally accepted stand-alone bariatric procedure with encouraging results.The objective of this study was to identify the impact of this weight losing procedure on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Twenty patients were included in this study, their mean fasting blood sugar(FBS)was 208±69.58 mg/dl and their mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 8±0.78.signicant changes have been reported in all patients after 6 and 12months postoperatively, FBS fell to a mean of 95.4mg/dl and HbA1c fell to a mean of 6.32±0.38 after 12 months. This is to conclude that LSG is effective , as a stand-alone procedure , in inducing improvement of T2DM in obese patients. Key Words: LSG – T2DM.
