[Agency] NIH [Project Title] A RANDOMIZED TRIAL TO COMPARE SURGICAL AND MEDICAL TREATMENTS FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT PITTSBURGH [Amount] $500,000 [Summary] The proposed project will address the lack of randomized controlled studies and comparative effectiveness research in bariatric surgery by utilizing a three arm randomized trial to compare surgical and non-surgical treatments for Type 2 diabetes in obese subjects. Understanding more clearly the impact of bariatric surgery compared to a non-surgical, intensive lifestyle intervention for the treatment of diabetes in the setting of obesity will have a major impact on both the science and public health for the communities of obese and diabetic patients in this country and worldwide.
