But lots of people have followed a perfect diabetic diet - and still

became diabetic!

I guess I am searching for a more thorough answer than that.

- thanks for the reports. This is what I am hoping is true -

that there is some mechanism in the surgery itself, whether by

malabsorbtion or something else, that prevents the re-occurance of

diabetes.

I may be obsessing about this, but at least I'm not obsessively blood

testing anymore! I need to calm down and realize each day what a gift

the surgery has given me!
