Course description:

The connection between extreme obesity and diabetes is well established. For many severely obese diabetics whose efforts to control weight have failed, bariatric surgery seems to hold new promise. Overall, weight loss surgery is more popular than ever: an estimated 205,000 individuals had bariatric surgery in 2007. If it is seen as a cure for diabetes, it will become even more widely performed. But the question remains: Can surgery truly reverse diabetes? This article will address that question and help dietitians understand the complex relationship between diabetes and obesity, and the effects of weight-loss surgery
