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.

You should look into the diet that people follow after the surgery. I believe the diet has something to do with the diabetes going away.

Also, low-carb/paleo works well.

Not enough information from the article to know a dose related effect.

Yes, something in the upper digestive tract that medicine does not understand. I have known several people who had bypass or the belt. their Dr's were in denial that it was simply the operation that made all the numbers get good.

Your reduced stomach can only hold so much, and therefore carb digestion (along with everything else you eat) is reduced comparable to portion size. Right?

Are nutritional supplements prescribed for bariactric patients as well? I know of mandatory BC pills for fertile females, and that’s about the limit of my knowledge.
