Obesity, Morbid, Type2 Diabetes

Brief summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on pancreatic alpha and beta-cell function and for the sensitivity of incretin hormones in patients with pre-operative type 2 diabetes. Primary hypotheses: * After RYGB, the sensitivity to GLP-1 and GIP is improved (improved insulinotropic effect). * After RYGB, the insulin secretion improves during an oral glucose tolerance test within 3 months postoperatively. * After RYGB, the insulin secretion during intraveneous stimulation with glucose or non-glucose (arginin) is unchanged.

Detailed description

Design: 12 patients with type 2 diabetes will be recruited. All subjects will undergo 11 study visits: four visits before, three visits at 1 week after surgery and four visits at 3 months postoperatively: * Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) with measurement of GLP-1 and GIP secretion will be performed before and 3 months post-surgery. * Hyperglycemic clamps with co-infusion of saline, GLP-1 or GIP will be performed in a randomised order at three separate study visits in randomized order before, 1 week and 3 months after surgery.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTOral Glucose Tolerance Test

Standard test of glucose tolerance with ingestion of 75 g glucose followed by blood sampling.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTHyperglycemic clamp with infusion of saline, GLP-1 or GIP

Blood glucose kept at 15 mmol/L via iv 20% glucose infusions. Primed co-infusion of either: * Saline * GLP-1 (Prime dose 6 pmol/kg, infusion 1 pmol/kg/min) * GIP (Prime dose 3 pmol/kg, infusion 1.5 pmol/kg/min).
