NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GI Dynamics, a medical device company pioneering the development of new approaches to treat metabolic disorders, today announced new data regarding the EndoBarrier™, its novel, noninvasive device currently in clinical trials to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. New data from a pilot clinical trial indicate that patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes using the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner achieved a statistically significant improvement of glycemic control in just one week as compared to a sham control. Most impressive was that the immediate improvement was independent of weight loss, suggesting a direct action on diabetes. This glycemic improvement was sustained throughout the duration of the study.
