Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - DIAMOND System

Experimental: Low blood TG patients - subjects with baseline blood triglyceride level = 1.7 mmol/l will have intervention device (DIAMOND Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG)) programmed to deliver GCM signal including the setting of automatic eating detection parameters for a 48 weeks period.

Experimental: High blood TG patients treated with blood TG lowering therapy - subjects with baseline blood triglyceride level > 1.7 mmol/l will have their device programmed to deliver GCM signal including the setting of automatic eating detection parameters for a 48 weeks period and will receive fenofibrate at the dose of 160mg per day

Placebo Comparator: High blood TG patients - subjects with baseline blood triglyceride level > 1.7 mmol/l will have their device programmed to deliver GCM signal including the setting of automatic eating detection parameters for a 48 weeks period and will receive placebo of fenofibrate administered in the same schedule as the drug.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria

Metformin, thiazolinedione (TZD) or DPP-4 inhibitors]

- Stable anti-diabetic medications for at least 3 months prior to enrollment, six months
for thiazolinedione (TZD)

physician that can supply a medical record for at least 6 months prior to enrollment

- HbA1c 7.3% and = 9.5 % on Visit 1

months prior to enrollment as documented in the subject's medical record. For the
subject treated with thiazolinedione, stable weight within six months.

- If taking theses medication, sable anti-hypertensive and lipid-lowering medication for
at least one month prior to enrollment

- If subject is under anti-depressant medication the treatment needs to be stable for at
least six months prior to enrollment.

- Ability and willingness to perform required study and data collection procedures and
adhere to operating requirements of the DIAMOND System

week for the duration of the study

- Willingness to refrain from using prescription, over the counter or herbal weight loss
products for the duration of the trial

- Alert, mentally competent, and able to understand and willing to comply with the
requirements of the clinical trial, and personally motivated to abide by the
requirements and restrictions of the clinical trial

Key exclusion criteria
- Insulin therapy in last 3 months

- Taking GLP-1 agonists or in the last 3 months before the enrollment

- Currently taking fibrates, nicotinamide and omega 3 fatty acids as antilipidemic
treatment

- Subjects with an EF less than 35% or otherwise indicated for an ICD

- Taking medications known to affect gastric motility such as narcotics (chronic use)
and anticholinergics/antispasmodics

- Experiencing severe and progressing diabetic complications (i.e. retinopathy not
stabilized, nephropathy with macroalbuminuria)

- Prior wound healing problems due to staphylococcus or candida

- Diagnosed with past or current psychiatric condition that may impair his or her
ability to comply with the study procedures

- Use of anti-psychotic medications

- Any history of peptic ulcer disease within 5 years of enrollment

- Diagnosed with gastroparesis

- Use of active medical devices (either implantable or external) such as ICD, pacemaker,
drug infusion device, or neurostimulator (either implanted or worn). Subjects using an
external active device who are able and willing to avoid use of the device during the
study may be enrolled.

- Cardiac history that physician feels should exclude the subject from the study.

- Use of another investigator device or agent in the 30 days prior to enrollment

- A history of life-threatening disease within 5 years of enrollment

- Change in diabetic medication from between Visit 1 and Visit 3.

- Any additional condition(s) that in the Investigator's opinion would warrant exclusion
from the study or prevent the subject from completing the study
