Has Anyone Had Weight Loss Surgery To "cure" Diabetes?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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.

Why Is Ozempic Becoming The Most Popularly Prescribed 2nd Tier Treatment For Type 2?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

The early versions first hit the market in 2006 (Byetta and Bydureon).

Along the way the effectiveness/utility was improved with Victoza (2010), Trulicity (2014), Ozempic (2017) and finally Rybelsus (2020).

Being so "new" none are available as a generic.

Despite a “black box warning” about Thyroid… read more
