From what I have researched and seen, people with diabetes are taken off their insulin rather quickly. Some studies have indicated that within 5 years, an individual may get diabetes. But not many, What I do know is that if we are gastric bypass, the sleeve, or lap band, we can still gain our weight back by reverting to old eating patterns of foods high in sugar, fat, and salt. And that is the main ingredients in restaurant foods that are served to us. This is a good reminder as to why I need to cook for myself and keep my foods clean. I need this reminder quite often just to stay focused. I love to be catered too..LOL
