A Surgical Approach to the Management of Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Patients With a BMI Between 25-35 kg/m2

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Procedure: Sleeve Gastrectomy and Ileal transposition
Dietary Supplement: dietary and medical management
Registration Number
NCT01197963
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if by performing surgery we can cure Type II Diabetes.

The surgical procedures:

1. a sleeve gastrectomy, cutting out a portion of the stomach, which provides restriction of caloric intake and rapid gastric emptying.

2. ileal transposition which involves repositioning a 150cm segment of the ileum into the jejunum causing improved glucose homeostasis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serial Postoperative HgA1c levels1 month intervals for 3 months then every 3 months there after

Effectiveness of the transposition to alleviate hyperglycemia will be measured by following serial post operative HbA1c levels. The change from baseline mearusements will be used to determine the outcome. Type 2 diabetes is considered resolved if there is normalization of fasting glucose(\<110 mg/dl) normal HbA1c (\<6%) and no need for diabetic medications.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serial Postoperative Lipid Profiles levels1 month for the first 3 months then every 3 months there after

Lipid profiles will be examined at follow up witha goal of total cholesterol \<200 mg/dl, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels \<100 mg/dl, triglyceride levels \<150 mg/dl, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels \>40 mg/dl. Patients will be fasting for 8 hours and the serum glucose and GLP-1 level will be checked.
