We are often asked about the effects bariatric surgery can have on patients who suffer from diabetes and from discussions at our meetings, it is quite apparent that after surgery, many of our members on related oral medication say they are placed on a much smaller dosage or instructed to stop all medication completely.
But what about those on insulin, how are they affected and what advise is there for maintaining critical blood sugar levels during their time on the pre-op diet?

 It will be encouraging to those members worried about obtaining funding for surgery (particularly in the Hull & East Yorkshire NHS area) that leading local bariatric surgeon, Mr Peter Sedman is continuing with his campaign for surgery to be still made available for eligible patients at a time when spending cuts are high on the agenda.
On the 8th September 2010, an important study was published which clearly shows that significant savings are made by the NHS when people are given the surgery and many patients who were unable to work due to ailments associated with being obese, returning to employment and as a result, gaining in self esteem as they make a proper contribution towards the general wealth of the country.
