Diabetes remission and weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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.
