Has Anyone Had Weight Loss Surgery To "cure" Diabetes?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Looking For Medication That Wil Help With Weight Loss
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My Bariatric doctor wants me to change the medication that will help lose weight I just wonder if there is any in pill form. I am on Glipizide now but my doctor says that it causes weight gain.I am not good with needles. Just taking my sugars I have to close my eyes. I had gastric sleeve surgery in June of this year and my sugars are still not under control. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank You

Katherine may be right. I found that doctors are so specialized, they don't know anything except their speciality. May I suggest adding an endocrinologist to your list of doctors.?
