Mechanisms of Diabetes Relapse After Bariatric Surgery (LAF26)
Type 2 Diabetes

About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Type 2 Diabetes focused on measuring Type 2 Diabetes, Gastric Bypass, Laparoscopic Banding, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Post GBP, LAGB or VSG Subjects
- Must be able to attend 4 study visits at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center in Manhattan, New York City
- History of Type 2 Diabetes before surgery
Inclusion Criteria:
- 35 < BMI < 50
- Non-Smoker
- Total Body Weight < 300 LBS
- 30<Age<60
- HbA1c < 9%
- Resting Blood Pressure < 160/100 mmHg
- Beta Blockers discontinued 2 weeks prior
- Fasting Triglyceride Concentration < 600 mg/dl (patient can be on dyslipidemia medications)
- Without recent (within last 6 months) CHD history (prior history of angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery with normal stress test ok)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with abnormal thyroid, renal function, known malabsorption syndrome or a seizure disorder requiring anti epileptic therapy, and/or elevation of liver enzymes three times above the normal limit.
- Patients should not have significant secondary complications from diabetes that would preclude undergoing gastric by-pass surgery. This would include significant psychiatric, renal or neurological, or known active coronary artery disease.
- Any abnormality during the maximum exercise stress test that indicates it would be unsafe to undergo bariatric surgery.
- Currently pregnant or nursing.
- Known cardiovascular disease
- Patient with current mucosal (gastrointestinal, respiratory, urogenital) or skin (cellulitis) infection
- HbA1c >9% and diabetes diagnosed more than 6 years prior to enrollment, or patients taking insulin or TZD (Avandia, Actos, Exenatide, DPP-IV inhibitors etc.) at the time of enrollment.
- Patients diagnosed with intestinal conditions such as chronic diarrhea, diverticulitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. These clinical conditions would interfere with the collection and interpretation of the H2 breath test.
- Any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigators, may make the candidate unsuitable for participation in this study.
