Endo Barrier

[islasmum]

Has anyone heard about a new treatment for diabetes and weight loss called the Endo Barrier? I've just looked it up on the internet, after seeing something about it last night on the BBC - it sounds like it could be a really good thing for those of us who have diabetes and need to lose weight.
Does anyone know anything about it - is it still being trialled, and is it available on the NHS yet?

This kind of device is entirely unnecessary and I personally would not recommend it due to the risk of complications. If you have diabetes and need to lose weight, then all you have to do is follow a low-carb diet. Eat all types of meat, fish, chicken, eggs etc with enough good fats (like olive oil) and lots of green veggies. You will not feel hungry on this diet and your weight will fall which will improve your diabetes. My sister (who has type 2 diabetes) has done it and it worked for her. Also, although I don't have diabetes, I was overweight and in danger of becoming diabetic too so I've been following this diet for ages. I'm now 50lbs lighter than I was and have easily keep the weight off while being fitter than ever. Good luck for the future.
