Has Anyone Had Weight Loss Surgery To "cure" Diabetes?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mount Pleasant Mills, PA

I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another. Since I have a weight problem being approved is not a problem, but I prefer to do things as naturally as possible. Some insight would be helpful and appreciated.

Is Bariatric Surgery A Solution To Diabetes Remission?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Inverary, ON

I will start with a popular myth that I see more and more on the internet from (supposedly) medical professionals

I'm sure we have all heard at least once from some "authority" that being overweight is not as simple as eating too much

If that was TRUE then Bariatric Surgery would not work

The only thing it does is stop you from eating too much by restricting how much food you can actually put in your system - so lets at least be honest.

Lower Blood Sugar Levels

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wayne, NJ

I have been enjoying life meaning eating everything mostly on weekends. i just started after a month taking my blood sugar level and t was about 225. that put me in a watch mode. So I have been eating low carbs and exercising a lot. I cannot get to below 150. My test strips were expired so can my test meter be too old now after 3 years? Or my sugar was too high and it takes time for it to level off.
