Purpose
This study aims to analyze the pre- and post-operative clinical, hormonal and biochemical changes in moderately obese type 2 diabetic patients who are sub-optimally controlled on at least 2 anti-diabetic agents. Study participants will either receive implantation of the gastric contraction modulator or conventional treatment with insulin therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- changes in body weight before and after interventions at 6 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 6 months and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- changes in HbA1c before and after interventions [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- frequency of hypoglycaemia [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- dichotomous composite end point assessing the proportion of patients meeting all of the following prespecified criteria defined as: 1. HbA1c ≤7.0% or an HbA1c reduction from baseline ≥0.5% 2. no weight gain 3. no severe hypoglycaemia [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- composite quantitative score calculate from the results of glycemic control, weight response and degree of hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- waist circumferences [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- insulin secretory responses (as measured by the standard meal test) [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Hormonal profiles (including gut hormones) [ Time Frame: 6 months and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- a. eating behavior, satiety and quality of life as measured by the Food Frequency Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Rating Scale To Assess Satiety, EDE, SF-36 and GIQOL questionnaires [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- resting energy expenditure as monitored by indirect calorimetry (MedGem). [ Time Frame: 6 month and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- radiological assessment (ultrasound scan and densitometry to measure mesenteric and total body fat respectively) [ Time Frame: 6 months and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- differences in insulin requirement [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Experimental: Tantalus
The TANTALUS System is implanted using minimally invasive procedure (laparoscopy). It uses leads with stitch electrodes to deliver electrical signals to the gastric wall for the treatment of obese subjects with T2DM. The device is intended to improve glycemic control and induce weight loss.
