Type II Diabetes

[James Marusek 5,244]

A study published in JAMA concludes weight-loss surgery better than diet and exercise in treating type 2 diabetes.

In the trial, 61 obese adults with diabetes were randomly assigned to one of two surgical procedures or intensive lifestyle intervention and followed for three years. Forty percent of those who had received a gastric bypass procedure and 29% who received a gastric band were considered in remission from diabetes and no longer needed to take medication after three years. In comparison, no one in the group who received intensive lifestyle intervention resolved their diabetes.

Before surgery my A1c was 9.2, and before that it was over 10.0. 3 weeks after surgery it was 6.1

I'm almost in full remission. From the time I got home from the hospital, I've been off two oral diabetes meds and 2 types of Insulin My blood sugars remain normal, stable, and I feel a world of difference. It works.
