What is BARI 2D?
The Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) 2 Diabetes is a program to study whether, in patients with Type 2 Diabetes, initial treatment with angioplasty or bypass surgery is better than initial treatment with a medical program. At the same time, BARI 2D will compare two approaches to control blood sugar: providing insulin stimulating medication or providing medication that sensitizes the body to the available insulin.
Who is eligible to join?
