Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Medical Management for Remission of Diabetes in Mild to Moderately Obese Patients

April 24, 2023 updated by: 59th Medical Wing

Sleeve Gastrectomy vs Medical Management for Remission of Diabetes in Mild to Moderately Obese Patients

The investigators plan to randomize mild to moderately obese (BMI 30-34.9) subjects to medical management (diet, exercise, and best medical therapy) versus sleeve gastrectomy with medical management, with a primary endpoint of diabetes remission (normal fasting glucose, off medications and insulin) at one year. Sleeve gastrectomy (also called greater curvature gastrectomy, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and sleeve gastroplasty) involves stapled resection of the gastric fundus. Secondary endpoints include weight loss, improvement in hypertension, sleep apnea, c-reactive protein, and fasting lipid profile.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Intensive medical management of Type 2 DM
Intensive medical management of Type II diabetes will include visits every three months for a year with an endocrinologist, with lifestyle counseling, weight management, regular exercise, and glucose control forming the core of the medical therapy.
Behavioral: Intensive medical management
Intensive medical therapy for Diabetes mellitus, Type 2, will include weight management counseling, exercise, glucose control, and healthy dietary choices.
Experimental: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is performed as part of a bariatric surgical program emphasizing healthy dietary choices, regular exercise, and glucose control.
Procedure: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, sleeve gastroplasty, or sleeve gastrectomy, will be performed over a 32 to 40 French sizing bougie.
