Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Adult males and females who meet the following inclusion criteria will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study:
  • Diagnosis of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) confirmed by the following criteria:
  • normal or high C-peptide level (\> 0.9 ng/ml) to exclude type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
  • positive glucagon test to confirm T2DM
  • fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dl or more on at least two occasions
  • Body mass index (BMI) 26 kg/m2 or greater, and less than 35 kg/m2
  • History of T2DM for not longer than 8 years, as long-standing disease beyond 8 years correlates with failure to achieve diabetes resolution after gastric bypass
  • No contraindication for surgery or general anesthesia as determined by a multidisciplinary bariatric surgery team (surgeon, anesthesiologist, internist, dietitian, psychologist)
  • Between 18 and 65 year of age
  • Able to provide informed consent
  • If a female with reproductive potential, she has to agree to use a reliable method of birth control for at least one year from the date of surgery
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria will not be eligible to participate in the study:
  • Enrollment in another clinical study, which involves an investigational drug
  • Diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus or other genetic forms of Diabetes Mellitus
  • Significant renal failure of chronic liver disease (except NAFLD)
  • Major psychological disorders
  • Pregnancy - all female subjects will have serum beta-hCG prior to operation, and must use birth control of their choice to avoid pregnancy during the first year after surgery
  • Previous gastric or esophageal surgery
  • Immunosuppressive drugs including corticosteroids
  • Coagulopathy defined as an INR \> 1.5 or platelet count \< 50,000/µl
  • Anemia defined as a Hb \<10.0 g/dl
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases or other medical condition that would serve as a contraindication to gastric bypass (eg. celiac sprue, pancreatic insufficiency)
  • A severe concurrent illness that is likely to limit life or require extensive systemic treatment (e.g. cancer)
  • A pre-existing major complication of diabetes:
  • unstable, proliferative retinopathy
  • severe autonomic cardiac neuropathy or intestinal neuropathy
  • Myocardial infarction within the previous year, current unstable angina, or poorly-controlled congestive heart failure (Stage III)
