Obese patients with diabetes type 2 whom had obesity surgery reversed their diabetes very soon after their obesity surgery.

More surgeons are testing whether obesity surgery helps diabetics who are merely overweight or a tad obese to control their blood sugar.

It has been reported that The Cleveland Clinic is recruiting 150 overweight and obese diabetics. Some will have surgery and their progress will be compared to those who manage their diabetes with medicine. The goal is to see which group can beat their diabetes.

Also seen reported on the wire that the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center is looking for 50 diabetics to undergo surgery. Doctors will track if patients’ blood sugar levels normalize after the procedure.
