Weight-loss surgery for type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether two weight-loss operations (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) can improve type 2 diabetes. It may help people with higher body weight and diabetes control, but it also requires meeting safety and health criteria.
