Metabolic surgery for diabetes control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 to 65 years old.

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 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 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 trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
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.
