Hmm, I have not heard of that before..I will be interested in what others know about this. Did they give any reasoning behind why not? Is she a type 1 or 2 diabetic?

 I was type 2 diabetic as well, and now they say that my diabetes has gone into remission.  Also I the other people were there with me in the hospital, were type 2 as well.  I don't know for sure though about Type 1 diabetics.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely not true. I had type II and my blood sugar was in normal range the day after my surgery.

Many receive the VSG for the purpose of curing their diabetes. My bestie of almost 30 yrs is one.

Maybe specifically type I?? But totally not type II. That's one of the comorbidities that can qualify us for the surgery in the first place.
