One of my friends has a colleague who may have hit on a scary weight-loss plan for larger people with diabetes........

The lady in question - I have no idea if she's type 1 or type 2 - has lost 1.5 stone in three weeks!
Her method?
Have a gastric band, suffer some discomfort and then only eat Muller Lite for 3 weeks.

I know it might be low-carb, but surely living on Muller Lite can't be good for glucose control?
:roll:

p.s.
I won't be trying the gastric band approach, with or without unlimited Muller Lite
:lol:
 
She must have been desperate to do that. Seen some of the gastric band operations on tv and it's horrific. :shock:
 
In the US where Bariatric surgery and gastric bands are quite common they do reckon that ,in some of these cases ,where the patient weighs 400-500 pounds and loses most of it that their diabetes does 'go away'. I would say it is more likely because they are not stuffing themselves with masses of carbs and are therefore in more control.
 
I agree about that. What the people on the programmes I've seen eat in a day would last me a week or more......most of the food would be thrown away!! Burgers, pizza and other fatty sugary food in gigantic portions. some of them topped 700lbs!!
