Weight-loss surgery can improve diabetes: studies

By Genevra Pittman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Two small studies provide more evidence that weight-loss surgery may benefit people who are obese and have diabetes. Both studies found that blood sugar levels were more likely to improve among people who were randomly assigned to have surgery than among those who went through intensive diet and lifestyle programs instead. “In appropriate patients, this is something really worth considering,” said Dr. Allison Goldfine. She worked on one of the studies at the Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
