had 70 percent lower blood sugar levels

That's a scary blood glucose reduction.

If the baseline was a normal glucose level. If they’re talking about grossly diabetic rats that’s another story.

I’m wondering if that’s over a period of time, or very rapidly. Seriously, when someone has an unregulated CBG of 275, then a 70% reduction might be a good thing.

What has my interest is how stomach surgery can change people’s Type II Diabetes (or metabolic syndrome) into a more normal range. Doesn’t seem to be totally related to weight loss, starts occurring right after the surgery.

could be under the right circumstances

I agree. This might be good for Type ii Diabetes sufferers who are also obese but not much more.

“That’s a scary blood glucose reduction.”

It would be scary if your blood glucose were only about 125, but perfectly satisfactory if it were up in the range of 200 or so. At about 300 or so, the extremities start dying, blindness occurs, and the kidneys fail.

Really fast.

I’ll take it...

Yep! I'd have to eat a chocolate donut every morning just to stay alive. Damn the luck.
