  1. The most important risk factor for diabetes is Obesity. in ppl with obesity insulin resistance develops, meaning body stops responding to insulin .this increases blood glucose and hence causes diabetes.
    Gastric bypass is done on obese ppl to make them eat less. this very rapidly reduces their weight improving insuln resistance..body starts responding…blood glucose goes down…hence no diabetes..
    bottom line is in obese ppl with no other risk factors like smoking etc. u diabetes is caused by obesity..u correct obesity, diabetes goes away…

  2. I believe that I have already answered this question in great detail when you asked it in a different manner. Gastric by-pass and gastric lap-banding surgery are not designed to ‘cure’ diabetes. As in my previous answer the benefits of such surgery far out-weigh the risks. I am concerned that you are obtaining information on the internet which you lack the expertise to understand. This is not meant as a criticism. As in my previous answer I suggested that fewer than 20% of physicians are capable of reading and understanding a medical study. My concern is that you will confuse others who are considering what may be a relatively minor surgical procedure that will reduce their risk of cardiovascular complications (the number one cause of death in diabetics), improve their quality of life, and will in fact help them to live a longer life. There are always risks - the question is whether the benefits outweigh the risks. There is universal agreement that benefit far outweighs risk when these surgical procedures are performed on properly selected individuals and are carried out by surgeon’s with expertise in this area. I wish you the very best of health and may God Bless.

  3. I worked a bariatric surgical floor for 2 yrs, post bypass, pt stopped needing insulin and sugar levels fell as did blood pressure, with in 24hrs. Maybe stomach senses something or part of fast preop and just the surgical procedure limiting food intake, simple answer, but, I saw it for myself almost daily. People didn’t crave food, either, stayed with diet/limited and weren’t dehydrated either. they just overall felt good and I didn’t recognize them 6 mo later! Totally different person and personality. They were very fortunate and lucky as they were running out of options.

  4. I think medical doctors who have big misunderstandings about diabetes.
    Just like how come they prescribe Lyrica and Cymbalta for Neuropathy when one of the side effects listed is neuropathy (you can check drugs.com).
    Get onto a low carb diet and you will have lower blood sugar - see http://www.diabetes-support.com
