ADA: Belly Fat Loss Best to Halt Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is fat person diabetes.
Although two bariatric surgery techniques resulted in similar weight loss, the one that shaved more belly fat led to a better rate of diabetes remission, a substudy of the STAMPEDE trial found.

Moderately obese patients with uncontrolled diabetes who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy had similar weight loss as judged by their body mass index (BMI) at 2 years: 27.4 versus 28.2 kg/m2, reported Sangeeta R. Kashyap, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues.
As long as the fat pay for the "fix" for their illness of choice, go for it.
