Brief description Our recent clinical trial showed that 3 out of every 4 obese people with type 2 diabetes who undergo substantial weight loss have their diabetes go into remission. In this project we recognise in the Indigenous people specific cultural and socio-economic factors and family and community approach to health care and seek to test if the Lap-Band procedure is acceptable to them and if it is feasible to achieve substantial weight loss and control of diabetes as was seen in a European population.
