Bone health check after bariatric surgery in people with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects bone health in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand who needs extra bone protection after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 60
- Your BMI is 35 or higher if you are in the bariatric group
- You are awaiting bariatric surgery (and have not had bariatric surgery before)
- If you have diabetes, it’s confirmed as type 2 (by meds or blood sugar test results) or it’s not present as specified
- You are not pregnant (and are willing to use effective birth control if you could become pregnant)
- You don’t have certain conditions or medicines that can strongly affect bones or how scans work

This study looks at how body fat is stored and how that may relate to early improvements in diabetes and heart/liver health after bariatric surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people recover faster and which body changes matter.
This study looks at how sleeve gastrectomy surgery affects bone and muscle health in men and women at different life stages (before and after menopause). It compares people having the surgery with those who qualify but don't have it.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.
This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
