All type of WLS claim to help with diabetes. Personally I had the VSG
(sleeve) and my diabetes is gone. I believe these "miracles"
happen due to the weight loss and the bariatric diet (low-carb)

It's your body. The ultimate decision about which type is YOURS, NOT THE
SURGEONS! They're both good for diabetes. It boils down which is best for
you.

I personally believe its ur opinion with the help of ur dr n ur nut.. But i
was diabetic for 2 yrs, n i had the sleeve procedure in August 2011, and
now im considered non-diabetic.

Both surgeries work well for diabetes, I was a type 2 for 10 years or more
and walked out of the hospital with my new sleeve and no diabetes. Yes,
just that fast.
You need to choose which surgery you feel will work best for you.

I got the sleeve a little over 2 years ago. I was well over 400 pounds at
the time, and I was consistently running over 300 points in blood sugar
even with insulin and metformin. I lost about 5 pounds a week for the
first 6 months after surgery, and I had to regularly decrease my insulin
and metformin doses until I was completely off. I am now at about 260
pounds and no longer need medication for my diabetes. It is completely
under control without insulin or any other medication.

If your diabetic the bypass will help better than the sleeve will.
