So I was getting my morning news fix the other day and of course the new study mentioning gastric bypass as a cure for diabetes was discussed. One of the many mainstream press articles about two recently published articles in NEJM can be found here. The full texts of both studies are available online free: Bariatric Surgery versus Conventional Medical Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes - Mingrone et.al. and Bariatric Surgery versus Intensive Medical Therapy in Obese Patients with Diabetes - Schauer et.al. I've discussed some other studies previously here. Lastly on the links for now, I have not followed all contained in this post, but from a surgery center blog we have: Gastric bypass to ‘cure’ diabetes goes mainstream (you are forewarned that the last one is a "medical tourism" clinic in Colombia).
