The reason some patients are cured of type-2 diabetes after a gastric bypass may have been explained by US researchers.
Their animal study showed bypassing the stomach made the intestines work harder, use more energy and keep blood sugar levels under control.
They hope their findings, published in the journal Science, will lead to less invasive treatments for the condition.
Diabetes UK said a healthy lifestyle was the best way to avoid the disease.
