If you have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus....
The University of Minnesota is conducting a study that 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.
You may qualify if you:
-Are between 35 and 60 years of age

-Are willing to commit to two (2) years of follow-up care
