Diabetes Recipes: Menu’s, Meal’s, and lifestyle advice for diabetics

So I have read about this a couple years ago, and I didn’t believe.  Now I see it on CBC the National, on CTV, and its also in MSNBC front page.

What are the claims?  Well apparently they noticed that overweight diabetics who had Gastric Bypass Surgery were having better controlled blood sugars.  So, doctors have been doing this experimentally on non overweight diabetics. The results?

Well, all you have to do is look through youtube and you will see hundreds of testimonials of Gastric Bypass Surgery curing, or making the symptoms of diabetes go away.

So, will I get it tomorow? No.

But I will be talking to my doctor, and I will be asking…

1. What are the risks of Gastric Bypass Surgery?
2. How long does this “cure” work for?
3. How long has it been tested?
4. Will I have to get the surgery done again?
5. Are we talking about a real cure? Or just some of the symptoms going away?
6. Will I still need to inject insulin?
7. Is this only for type 2 diabetics, or can type 1 diabetic patients benefit as well.

When I meet with my doctor I will ask him these questions and post the summaries of his answers here.

What do you think? Is this diabetes cure too good to believe in? Or are you interested? Comments are appreciated!
