Who may benefit from weight-loss surgery for diabetes?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at which people with type 2 diabetes (or prediabetes) are most likely to benefit from bariatric surgery. It compares people who are planning surgery with healthy volunteers to better understand how body changes relate to blood sugar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have RYGB weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass)
- You are age 18 to 80
- You have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
- Your weight has been stable for at least 3 months
- You have obesity (BMI 30 or higher) and are eligible for NHS surgery under NICE rules

This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
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.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with obesity and either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. You may be enrolled in one of these glucose groups, and the researchers will monitor changes before and after surgery.
This study compares two types of surgery for people with type 2 diabetes who also have obesity: gastric bypass alone versus gastric bypass plus a procedure called truncal vagotomy (cutting a nerve to the stomach). It aims to see which approach leads to better diabetes remission.
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.
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.
