NEW YORK (WABC) -- Type 2 diabetes is a growing medical problem and the treatments are complex and difficult for some.
While looking for a cure has been a long time medical goal, a new type of surgery done in Brazil has arrived in this country. It's experimental, but surgeons say some people could be cured.
Doctors in Brazil say it offers about a 50 percent chance of cure. It involves moving a part of the intestinal track (the ileum) to another part.
