Until about 15 years ago nobody in the Diabetes world talked about remission for Type 2 Diabetics
Then a bunch of researchers in the US (Look Ahead Study) and the UK (DiRECT Study) went on a mission to see what would happen if you "forced" Type 2's to lose weight, eat properly and get some exercise
What they found was that fully "half" could achieve remission if they met some basic criteria and actually stuck with the program
Today "Remission" is clinically defined as - maintaining an A1C… read more

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.

According to data demographics in the USA.
We have been told that the diabetes incidence of the general population of the USA is almost 12%
Diabetes is much more common in the 65+ age group than we were led to believe.
29.2% of all adults 65 are diabetic.
By age 75 it is almost 35% diabetic.
So as diagnosed with diabetes, we are not alone. We are almost 1 in every 3, 65 year olds as diabetic.
In my church, there are 11 of us 65 +. All but 3 are diabetic
How have I obtained this… read more
