Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess gut microbiota changes in mild obese (BMI 30-35 Kg/m2) diabetic patients after metabolic surgery and compare the gut microbiota with mild obese (BMI 30-35 Kg/m2) diabetic patients who underwent only advanced medical therapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Determine the rate of biochemical remission of diabetes after metabolic surgery<br> 2. Assess changes in metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory parameters after metabolic surgery versus advanced medical therapy<br> 3. Study influence of patient characteristics in gut microbiota changes, as well as in metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory parameters, after metabolic surgery versus advanced medical therapy<br> 4. Study associations between type 2 diabetes remission/improvement (metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory changes) and gut microbiota composition/adaptation after metabolic surgery versus advanced medical therapy<br>
