What IS it about bypassing the small intestine that would cause normo- or hypoglycemia? Is the effect related to some process occurring in the small intestine - perhaps the activation or inhibition of some gastric or endocrinological hormone? What's really BEHIND this potential solution to refractory type 2 diabetes mellitus? What's the scientific logic? Does anyone know?

hmm, Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach in the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination, or "chewing the cud". The idiomatic expression chewing one's cud means meditating or pondering.

Wonder if there is a link in that to acid reflux disease as well

people need to devote more research on the subject of "eating right for your blood type"

[dustynbones]

Woohooo go for it!

Clinical trials and test.

You never know.

But, some of us AFTER a malabsorptive gastric bypass who never had diabetes? End up with drastically dangerous LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE. It's not the answer.

People used to say surgery was too drastic for treating obesity & preferred to put all the burden of treatment on the patient but it's proven to be safer than the risks of obesity. it would be really cool if they could prove this works for anyone suffering with diabetes.

gastric bypass IS too drastic. there is a high rate of mortality from the surgery, and those who get it will never properly digest food again. in addition many who get the surgery will find ways around it and gain most their weight back again.

proper eating habits and exercise is the only healthy way to lose weight. gastric bypass is like an alcohol cutting out half his liver.

most type 2 diabetics can be treated successfully if they eat healthy and exercise as well.

Sounds easy, doesn't it?

Surgery has succeeded as a treatment for obesity because how hard it is to change behavioral patterns, especially if you think about all the messages we get: The fast-food industry is great seller - no matter what, we're always going to want more -; we are also bombarded with the idea of looking pretty, now more than ever; and nowadays we have lost a grip with temporal reality, not just wanting, but expecting and demanding quick results.

@zoopu : This surgery the video is speaking of is for diabetes not weight loss!

I have had type2 for over 30 yrs and meds, diet no longer help. This surgery is my only hope to be rid of this disease and the horrible affects it has on my body! Many, many diabetics are no longer able to control their sugar levels by strictly dieting and exercise. We have become immune. The Dr's are recommending this for quality of life.

@zoopu You cant treat diabetes. only keep it under control for a wile. it slowly eats away at your body until u lose a leg or your vision and just gets worst over time

[smilingnsingin]

This seems like it would be risky as all surgeries are, however, if it improves diabetes, then I'm all for it. Always get a second, sometimes 3rd opinion.
