Roux-n-y weight-loss surgery eliminates type 2 diabetes, in most cases, and quickly. Heard it from the surgeon, and have seen it happen with 2 other patients in my Exercise/Cardiac Rehab class. If I had diabetes type 2, that would be my move.
Interestingly, they don’t know WHY the surgery eliminates type 2 diabetes. But it’s been observed, regularly enough that the surgeon who performed my Sleeve Gastrectomy says he is the diabetes-killer.
My wife’s numbers were higher than we liked so we seriously moderated the carb intake (she carefully, me mostly at family meals, I still cheat as I have good sugar numbers and limited self restraint with Penn Station french fries). However, just going along with her, albeit to a lesser degree, I have gone from 190 to 180 with no effort at all.
She also exercises for 1/2 hour every night. The dirty little secret is that exercise will drop your sugar numbers faster than anything else.
Interestingly, we both think she has lost a little more weight than we’d like, but it is not easy to put a few pounds back on when seriously limiting carbs.
We eat lots of vegetables and normal levels of protein and fat.
Now, I may be mistaken, but as I understand diabetes, you have it or you don’t. “Type 2” isn’t really diabetes, it’s a creation of the medical establishment to focus on theoretically potential future diabetics with the goal to prevent them from progressing to diabetes. But it is not diabetes. I can’t swear to that, but I believe it.
Is there justice when the laws are unjust?
