To compare glycemic control, co-morbidities and physiologic responses after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) vs. advanced medical therapy (AMT) at 1 and 2 years. STOMP-T2D will clarify whether VSG is more effective than AMT in promoting durable glycemic control, improved pancreatic β-cell function, and reduced co-morbidities in youth with T2D.

Surgical or Medical Treatment for Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes (STOMP-T2D) is a prospective, open-label, controlled clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health for a period of 5 years. We propose to study 90 participants who are 13-19 years of age and have type 2 diabetes (T2D) at two sites Cincinnati Children’s Hospital & Children’s Hospital Colorado. We will compare glycemic control, co-morbidities and physiologic responses after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) vs. advanced medical therapy (AMT) at 1 and 2 years. STOMP-T2D will clarify whether VSG is more effective than AMT in promoting durable glycemic control, improved pancreatic β-cell function, and reduced co-morbidities in youth with T2D.
