Hello!I walk here asking about the surgery that can currently be done in Spain that helps to reverse type 2 diabetes ... My interest is for my mother who suffers from it, which is not obese and that according to what I read could be a candidate!I am waiting for the tests that will send me to be done and so see whether or not it is viable in their situation ... I look for someone who has been interested in the subject or better yet, some acquaintance who has passed through the processor knew someone who has done it ....
