Bariatric surgery guidelines. Conceptual image of overweight and obese people being weighed on scales and holding blood glucose monitors. Being overweight is a risk factor for diabetes, which affects blood glucose levels. The measuring tape (green) represents body size measurements, and the scales show the range of assessments for bariatric surgery.
