Thanks for posting that. I needed a laugh to start my day.
So, weight loss surgery reduces T2 bg levels to normal, in 50% of patients for up to 5 years (thats how long they've been monitoring), with only minimal use of drugs. Some people relapse.
Whooppee-do!
Newsflash: dietary control can do the same, or better, doesnt require invasive surgery and is a heck of a lot cheaper for the NHS. And doesnt have the potential complications that surgery does.
Of course, the article doesnt give details of the surgery (liposuction counts as weight loss surgery)
Just to be clear: i think weight loss surgery has a very valuable and helpful place in the NHS's armoury. But this article is just plain bonkers.
