Try and get to a diabetes clinic/councillor and a dietician.
I have been told that after having this surgery I would no longer have to treat my diabetes. However I am wondering if I would be trading one set of problems for another. Since I have a weight problem being approved is not a problem, but I prefer to do things as naturally as possible. Some insight would be helpful and appreciated.

Oh thank you, that makes sense, and your edit above is reassuring! I didn't realize they knew it was at 8.7 and above that damage happens. Good to know!
Thanks again! I'll keep watch

I agree Graham (I too was lectured endlessly by my son for smoking). How 'bout buttons or bumper stickers that read " I beat diabetes" for now (in tiny print). I know little to nothing about… read more
