Insidious

If I am right that pressure causes diabetes, consider how hard this is to test for. A person dies, the pancreas is biopsied, but in the process pressure is released and everything looks fine. An animal is cut open, alive, and the system is observed. In the process of opening the belly, pressure is released and everything looks normal. How does one measure blood flow through tiny arteries that exist between the duodenum and the pancreas? Even if you could observe them in a surgical operation, how would you do it without releasing the pressure that I propose causes a decrease in blood flow?

It wasn't until pressure was released, accidentally, in the RYGB operation that one could see that the culprit might be pressure. RYGB and GJB are two bypass operations that, in a sense, test my pressure theory.

If you are in a position to do experiments on diabetic animals, please read my larger piece. Please.
