The Taiwanese doctors presented at a press conference the positive results of therapy in 60 cases of operated diabetic gastric surgery over a year ago.

Diabetes is really a gastrointestinal disease, resulting from problems with the gastrointestinal hormones that influence insulin production, so it can be treated with gastric surgery,” said a spokesman for the doctors, Li Wei-jie.

In an experiment with 60 patients, average age 45 years, found that one year after gastric bypass surgery, 93.3 percent had normal blood sugar level and in the case of gastric narrowing, the proportion was 46.7 percent.
