The document discusses potential novel gastrointestinal procedures for treating type 2 diabetes in patients with low BMI, including duodenal-jejunal bypass and ileal transposition with or without duodenal exclusion. It reviews the outcomes of these procedures in clinical studies showing glycemic control, weight loss, and remission of diabetes without severe complications. The author argues that duodenal exclusion may have antidiabetic effects and that duodenal-jejunal bypass via sleeve gastrectomy deserves further study in randomized controlled trials compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and medical treatment for type 2 diabetes patients with BMIs of 26-35
