Weight Loss Diabetes
Overweight Type 2 diabetics who have weight-loss surgery may be able to reduce or completely stop their diabetes medications, a new study suggests. The Johns Hopkins study of 2,200 adults found that almost 85 percent of patients were able to quit their diabetes meeds within 6 months of their surgery, due to improved blood glucose levels. Though bariatric surgery is expensive, researchers found that the overall costs of diabetes dropped 6,000 dollars per year.
