Study probes how surgery makes diabetes disappear | Reuters

(Reuters) -
Weight loss surgery appears to change the body's metabolism in a way
that dieting alone cannot, helping to explain why diabetes often
disappears after the surgery even before much weight is lost, U.S.
researchers said on Wednesday.

Understanding how gastric
bypass affects metabolism could shed light on treatments for type 2
diabetes, a global epidemic strongly linked with obesity and too little
exercise.
