Scientists Reassess Weight Loss Surgery For Type 2 Diabetes

That there was a need to "reassess" is embarrassing.

Weight loss surgery is not a cure for type 2 diabetes, but it can improve blood sugar control, according to a new study published in the British Journal of Surgery. Whereas some previous studies have claimed that up to 80 per cent of diabetes patients have been cured following gastric bypass surgery, researchers at Imperial College London found that only 41 per cent of patients achieve remission using more stringent criteria.

Of course fat person surgery could not cure Type 2 diabetes.

As soon as the weight comes back on, the illness generally returns.

More overselling by the sick care profession.
