FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF DIABETES
"What we hope is that we can encourage lifestyle changes and we can motivate patients to remain at a lower weight," Dr. de Jonge observed. "Maybe people still need a little bit of medication, but at least their diabetes is better [controlled] than before they had the procedure."
GI Dynamics funded the study. Dr. de Jonge and Dr. Taylor reported having no conflicts of interest.
