 does stomach surgery resolve diabetes?
I saw a special on TV- I think it was on CBS that stated that when people have stomach surgery and have their duideum (sp?) removed--(which is the area of the stomach where the stomach contents empty into the small bowel)
there diabetes goes away--almost imidiately.
These people go into the hospital on insulin and other medications and come out of the hospital on no meds, before they loose any weight with great blood sugar levels.
I thought if that was true then the duideum has more to do with diabetes than the pancreas or insulin resistance. Therefore making the stomach healthy is a valuable part of any diabetics health care.
I know myself that when I go on a semi fast and substitute lemon juice and water for food I feel satisfied and happy but it messes up my sugar for a couple of months after just a week of the lemon juice. Lemon juice dieting is actually why my body succombed to this diabetes in the first place. I asked my doctor if it was the lemon juice--which has no calories or artificial sugars so it seemed like a great idea because it takes away hunger pains--and he said it was fine, but after trying it I messed up my sugar again--raising my levels 1/2 point on the 3 month blood test- A1C.
Does anyone have any insight into how or why the duideum would have any effect on blood sugar and also how to make that thing 20 years younger healthwise?? Most of us develope diabetes to some extent as we age so we need to revive that duideum!!
