After gastric bypass surgery, people with Type 2 diabetes often see their disease completely disappear ? within weeks, before they?ve lost much or any weight.
It doesn?t work for everyone, though. What are the factors that matter? A study by a team of scientists from the University of Massachussetts looked into that. Here are their findings, which were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
The scientists looked at remission of diabetes in 139 patients, ages 48 to 57, who?d had gastric bypass surgery. All had body mass indexes between 33 and 75. The patients were tracked for one year.
