Bariatric-style surgery vs best diabetes care for long remission
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares surgery plus follow-up care versus the best non-surgical (medical) treatment to help people keep type 2 diabetes in remission for a long time. It may be an option if you have higher body weight and diabetes that’s not well controlled, but safety checks are strict.

This trial tests whether a specific type of weight loss surgery can help people with type 2 diabetes stop needing diabetes medication. It is for people with a very high body mass index (BMI over 45) who are currently on diabetes pills or insulin.
This study compares people with type 2 diabetes and higher body weight who meet criteria for metabolic (weight-loss) surgery versus people with mild obesity who do not. It aims to see whether surgery improves diabetes-related outcomes more than usual medical care.
This trial compares a less invasive heart/artery-based bariatric treatment (bariatric arterial embolization) with standard weight-loss surgery to see how they affect metabolism and type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you have obesity with type 2 diabetes and have not had prior bariatric surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding metformin after gastric bypass or sleeve surgery can help you stay free of diabetes for longer. It compares metformin plus standard care versus standard care alone.
This Phase 3 trial compares sleeve gastrectomy versus a different bypass-style operation to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help some people lower blood sugar and diabetes medication needs, but you must meet specific safety and health criteria.
This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
