Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 22 to 65 with type 2 diabetes, an HbA1c between 7.5% and 10%, and a BMI between 30 and 50 kg/m2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have achieved adequate glycemic control or those outside the specified age and BMI range may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This pivotal trial assesses the safety and effectiveness of the RESET System in conjunction with lifestyle and dietary counseling for patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled study where participants are assigned to either the RESET System or a sham control group. The study focuses on patients who have not achieved adequate glycemic control despite being on dual therapy for diabetes management. The primary objectives are to determine the impact of the RESET System on glycemic control and its safety profile.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using similar approaches for managing type 2 diabetes and obesity, indicating potential for success.
