About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Type2 Diabetes

Oral glucose tolerance test
Hyperglycemic clamp with saline infusion combined with arginine test
Hyperglycemic clamp with GLP-1 infusion
Hyperglycemic clamp with GIP infusion
Oral glucose tolerance test with ingestion of 75 g glucose and blood sampling. This test will be performed before and 3 months after RYGB.
Hyperglycemic clamp with blood glucose kept at 15 mmol/L by adjustable infusions of intraveneous glucose for 120 min with co-infusion of saline. After 120 min an arginine test with infusion of 50 g Arginine is performed. This test will be performed before, 1 week and 3 months after RYGB.
Hyperglycemic clamp with blood glucose kept at 15 mmol/L by adjustable infusion of intraveneous glucose for 90 min with co-infusion of GLP-1. This test will be performed before, 1 week and 3 months after RYGB.
Hyperglycemic clamp with blood glucose kept at 15 mmol/L by adjustable infusions of intraveneous glucose for 90 minutes with co-infusion of GIP. This test will be performed before, 1 week and 3 months after RYGB.
