Summary

This study compares laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a type of weight-loss surgery) with standard medical treatment in 30 adults who are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have a BMI between 30 and 42. The goal is to see if surgery can help more people achieve diabetes remission—meaning normal blood sugar without needing diabetes medication—over up to 6 years. Participants are from two diabetes centers in Italy.
