  • wow This greatly interests me, because I'm big and I have diabetes, now if I'm understanding this correctly, this is saying you can lose weight and still have diabetes and u can risk having your Hemoglobin A1c Grow higher? That for now bariatrich/gastric bypass surgery is the most effective way to lose diabetes and not losing weight!?
