Inclusion criteria

* Subjects Age \> 18 years and ≤ 55 years * Male or Female * Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes who have been treated for ≤10 years and are on oral diabetic medications * Subjects with an HbA1C \> 7.5 and ≤ 10.0% * Subjects with a BMI \> 26 - \< 50 * Subjects willing to comply with study requirements * Subjects who have signed an informed consent form * Women who are post-menopausal, surgically sterile or on oral contraceptives and agree to remain on oral contraceptives for at least twenty-four (24) weeks after being implanted or the duration of their trial participation and agree not to become pregnant during the trial.

Exclusion criteria

* Subjects diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus or having a history of ketoacidosis * Subjects requiring insulin * Subjects with probable insulin production failure (fasting C Peptide serum \<1ng/mL) * Subjects that have autoimmune disease as evidenced by a positive anti-GAD blood test * Subjects with a weight loss of \> 4.5 Kg (10 lbs) within the 12 Weeks of screening * Subjects requiring prescription anticoagulation therapy * Subjects with or a history of iron deficiency and/or iron deficiency anemia * Subjects with or a history of abnormalities of the GI tract * Subjects with symptomatic gallstones or kidney stones at the time of screening * Subjects with a known infection * Subjects with or a history of coagulopathy, upper gastro-intestinal bleeding conditions such as esophageal or gastric varices, congenital or acquired intestinal telangiectasia * Subjects mentally retarded or emotionally unstable, or exhibits psychological characteristics which, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the Subject a poor candidate for device placement or clinical trial participation * Subjects with previous GI surgery that could affect the ability to place the device or the function of the implant * Subjects unable to discontinue NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) during the implant period * Subjects with active H. pylori (Note: Subjects may be enrolled if they had a prior history of H. Pylori and were successfully treated) * Subjects receiving weight loss medications such as Meridia, Xenical, or over the counter weight loss medications * Subject or Family history of a known diagnosis or pre-existing symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma or other autoimmune connective tissue disorder * Subjects with active and uncontrolled GERD * Subjects with a known history of substance abuse * Subjects participating in another ongoing investigational clinical trial * Subjects taking corticosteroids or drugs known to affect GI motility (i.e. Reglan)

Assessment of Glycemic Control (HbA1c) Over TimeBaseline to 12 Months with device implantedHbA1c (%) at Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12
Change in Anti-diabetes MedicationsBaseline to 52 weeksMedications were classified as increased if the dose of one or more oral agents was higher or an additional glucose-lowering agent was utilized at the time of treatment completion after EndoBarrier implantation in comparison with baseline. Medications were classified as decreased if the dose of one or more oral agents was lowered or one or more agents were discontinued at the time of treatment completion in comparison with baseline. For subjects in which the dose of one oral glucose-lowering agent was increased and another agent decreased, the change in medications was classified as not assessable.

Assessment of Glycemic Control (HbA1c) Over Time

HbA1c (%) at Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12

Time frame: Baseline to 12 Months with device implanted

Population: 20 subjects with a successfully implanted device were analyzed at Baseline. 1 subject removed at day 75 due to non-compliance with attending required visits. 1 subject removed at 175 due to device rotation, 2 subjects removed at day 203 and 313 due to abdominal pain AE

Change in Anti-diabetes Medications

Medications were classified as increased if the dose of one or more oral agents was higher or an additional glucose-lowering agent was utilized at the time of treatment completion after EndoBarrier implantation in comparison with baseline. Medications were classified as decreased if the dose of one or more oral agents was lowered or one or more agents were discontinued at the time of treatment completion in comparison with baseline. For subjects in which the dose of one oral glucose-lowering agent was increased and another agent decreased, the change in medications was classified as not assessable.
