Starting in early 2008, the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview will serve as one of the main clinics and hospitals for the Diabetes Surgery Study. The University of Minnesota is conducting this study, which compares two approaches to treating type 2 diabetes in patients who are overweight (moderately obese). One treatment combines gastric bypass surgery and medical therapy; the other treatment involves medical therapy alone. The cost of care will be covered by the study.
