Strange but true!

[Linith]

I know several people with T2 diabetes. Except for one of them, we have all had major surgery in the past. Just coincidence? Any one else had this thought?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

i believe that that indeed IS just a coincidence.

I think so too. With one exception:


this surgery seems to bring on diabetes in 53% of the cases

Please give more details.

... interesting!

The details are given in the link I provided (click on the bold sentence it will take you there)... in short:

Pancreatic surgery, not pancreatitis, is the primary cause of diabetes after acute fulminant pancreatitis.
