2. STAMPEDE Trial 150 patients with type 2 diabetes
BMI 27-43kg/m2, 1/3 BMI <35
Duration of Diabetes 8 years average, mean baseline HgA1C %, on 3 diabetic agents including 44% on insulin
Randomized Prospective Trial
Intensive Medical Therapy vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy vs. Gastric Bypass

3. Characteristics of the Patients at Baseline.

4. Changes in Measures of Diabetes Control from Baseline.
Figure 1. Changes in Measures of Diabetes Control from Baseline. Values for change in glycated hemoglobin (Panel A), change in fasting plasma glucose (Panel B), the average number of diabetes medications (Panel C), and change in body-mass index (BMI) (Panel D) were plotted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Least-square means and standard errors from a repeated measures model are plotted for glycated hemoglobin, average number of medications, and BMI; medians and interquartile ranges are plotted for fasting plasma glucose. P values are for the comparison between each surgical group and the medical-therapy group and were calculated from a repeated-measures model that considers data over time.

5. Primary Endpoints After one year………
Patients achieving HgA1c of 6.0 or less, whether one or off medications
12% of intensive medical treatment group
37% in sleeve gastrectomy
42% in gastric bypass

8. Primary Endpoints After two years (93% follow up)
No patient on medical therapy achieved remission
Rates of complete remission of diabetes (FBG </=100mg/dl, HGA1c </=6.0% for at least one year without medications)
CR 75% Gastric Bypass and 95% for BPD
Surgical procedures achieved diabetes control independent of preoperative BMI and post operative weight loss
