Yes but this is for type 1 which has nothing to do with being overwieght and usually strikes children through those before the age of 35.

WOW is right! With all of the new advances I am very hopeful that within my lifetime we just might see a cure. I know I’d love not having to structuure my whole life around this like I have since I was 9 years old.

Just to add: stomach stapling doesn’t have this effect, only the bypass where the first 1 foot of the small intestine is by-passed has this effect.
