We are talking about those little bands surgeons clip round the stomach to prevent over-eating and beat obesity. That's pretty remarkable, but now, there's more. Doctors say the bands are an exciting breakthrough in the battle against type 2 diabetes. A world-first clinical trial in Melbourne has had stunning success.
