SAPI has the merits of the restrictive gastric procedures (without resection), also decrease of glucose & fatty acids absorption. This has a therapeutic effect for diabetics, improving their blood glucose level without any medication as what happened to many of our type II DM, who reverted to normal only by the operation (without medication)
