"One could easily imagine now developing anti-oxidants that will specifically target this particular place in muscle and fat cells," Professor James said. He added that the antioxidants would have to take the form of specifically targeted drugs. "There are lots and lots of antioxidants on the market," he said. "You know, you can walk down the supermarket and there are loads and loads of them, but the problem I suspect with most of those is that they will not target the production of oxidants inside mitochondria." The research is being published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. |

| http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/australian-news/61101 62/researchers-find-answers-to-type-two-diabetes/ Australian researchers believe they may have unlocked the key to why eating too much sugar and fat causes type two diabetes. They say that overeating stimulates the conversion of oxygen into toxic free radicals, or oxidants, which stop the body using insulin properly. That causes the pancreas to burn out, leading to diabetes. The team from the Garvan Institute in Sydney says their findings are an important step to creating better treatments. Professor David James from the Garvan Institute says it all takes place in the part of a cell called the mitochondria. "If we eat the right amount of food, most of the nutrients get diverted into energy production and all is well," he said. "But if we overeat, we can actually make the mitochondria oversupplied with nutrients and now instead of converting the nutrients to energy, they can start to convert the nutrients into oxidants." Professor James says the oxidants then lead to insulin resistance. "Where insulin is unable to do its job properly in muscle and fat cells, that in turn leads to pancreas oversecreting insulin in order to get the job done," he said. "And so if that extra burden goes on and on and on for a long time, it can result in the pancreas essentially burning out." That is diabetes, and for the moment, it is irreversible. The scientists say that the body may be producing oxidants in the mitochondria as a natural defence mech *** m. "The signal says, I've had enough nutrients, please, no more," Professor James said. "In fact, the insulin resistant mecha.ni.sm may be a way that the cell tries to deal with that, to shut down an additional nutrient burden that accompanies overeating." The findings mean that doctors may now be able to prevent the development of type two diabetes. "One could easily imagine now developing anti-oxidants that will specifically target this particular place in muscle and ... |

| Hi Maggie I was 115kg before surgery but I know of many who were under 100kg and still had it done, since then my sugar levels have gone way down and I've lost 16kg in 3 mths Evelyn |

| hi maggie, I'm Cheryl, I think each Surgeon has their own criteria, based mainly on your BMI and any health risks or problems related to obesity. Best thing to do is talk to your GP and get a referral to a surgeon. If you don't know of a good surgeon check out people's experiences here and ask lots of questions. good luck Cheryl |

| Karen, They are actually capsule shaped. If you take Centrum Multivitamins, they are about that size. I was trying to find a pic to link to for you but I'm sorry none have come up on google. LOl Pyretta |

| Hey it's you, thanks for replying. I am starting to think that I am killing threads. It seems everytime I get on here everyone gets off. Paranoia setting in. I have been on diabex xr which are the slow release tablet and they are pretty big. I was on diaformin a few years ago but they really upset my system (kept me in the bathroom). I can't remember what shape they are. Are they about the size of panadol? Karen |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Redders, I was taking 2 diaformin the day after banding, I no longer need them, but am able to still take tablets of that size.... my current antibiotics I think are actually larger. Pyretta |

| Hello Everyone, can anyone let me know if they are able to take diabex xr or diaformin. As the tablets are so big. thanks Karen |
