Insulin sensitivity and beta cell function after duodenal mucosal resurfacing: an open-label, mechanistic, pilot study.

Insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion improved 3 months after DMR. It is unlikely that incretin changes are responsible for improved glucose control after DMR. These data add to the growing evidence validating the duodenum as a therapeutic target for patients with T2D. (Clinical trial registration numbers: NCT02413567 and NCT03653091.).
