My friend's mother had GBS, and it was for her diabetes, too. I was confused when he told me that, because I thought it came from the weight loss.
My father controlled his diabetes by losing weight -- he lost 60 pounds and avoided having to take medication for it. He does still test his blood sugar, because he needs to know how he's doing, but if he happens to eat a meal that raises it, he goes off to exercise and "walk it" off the excess insulin he's produced.
I'd love to hear about this too, if it is related to the surgery, rather than the weight loss. I know of someone else who wants to do lap-band to improve her IR. I don't know if the same would apply to her.
