title: Duodenal-jejunal bypass liners: outcomes in glycaemic control and weight loss.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Duodenal-jejunal bypass liners (DJBLs) are a novel therapy with potential treating a range of metabolic diseases. This review discusses the weight loss and glycaemic improvements observed following the use of the DJBL.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We summarize the evidence for the clinical application of DJBL to date. Within this, we outline the evidence available on the mechanisms of the observed effects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Based on the most recent trials, we cannot fully mimic the clinical or physiological effects of bariatric surgery with this device, but we are getting closer.
