Implant surgeries have worked so far
A surgery to implant a device shown to effectively treat type 2 diabetes is being offered at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as part of a nationwide research study.
Roughly 100 people have had the experimental surgery, mostly in Europe. The blood-sugar levels of almost all were lowered "significantly." Type 2 diabetics have high levels of sugar in their bloodstream because the body can't properly convert it to energy.
