Re: Re: Cured Diabetes? (was lab results)

[Guest guest]

Ellen,

I have a friend who was diabetic for 18 yrs.....no longer considered

diabetic 2 months after surgery. Her labs are perfect. She pays no

attention to sugar and that stuff and eats whatever she wants and in

moderation which is easy when you have the surgery as it limits how much you

can eat anyway. " under control " with perfect labs and being able to eat

sugar with no adverse affects pretty much says : " cured " to me......my

surgeon thinks the results gained from no more required insulin is a pretty

powerful reason for the surgery, even someday for diabetics who are not

overweight! That day just might come if we can get the drug companies out

of the way!!!

Anyway, I doubt that a slim person in this country would be allowed

this procedure, though a version of BPD without gastric restriction

was done in Italy. >>>>

I doubt it too, but the thought was someday, down the road they will come up

with something similar that would benefit a diabetic so they can enjoy the

" cures " that we enjoy now.......without being as drastic as wls......which

they wouldnt need anyway!
