How weight-loss surgery affects blood sugar in Chinese patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery (gastrectomy) changes blood sugar control in people who are obese or have type 2 diabetes. It aims to see if the surgery helps improve glucose metabolism, which could lead to better diabetes management.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 28 or higher
- Your blood sugar levels must fit into one of these groups: normal, prediabetes (HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4%), or type 2 diabetes (HbA1c of 6.4% or higher)
- You must be between 16 and 65 years old
- You must not have certain medical conditions, like type 1 diabetes, severe heart or kidney problems, or a history of gastrointestinal surgery
- You must not have recently taken certain medications, including some diabetes drugs, steroids, or weight-loss drugs
- You must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the trial

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 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 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 study collects small tissue samples during certain abdominal surgeries to better understand what drives severe obesity and related blood-sugar patterns. If you agree to the extra sampling, your information and samples may help researchers build a “biological atlas” that could guide future treatments.
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.
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.
