We hypothesize that high- or hyper-absorbing cells for carbohydrates in small intestine, especially located in jejunum, might be the cause of type 2 diabetes. Rapid absorption of carbohydrates contributes to hyperglycaemia, or hight blood sugar (HBS), which causes many complications, such as kidney, eye, heart, and neural damage problems, some of severe complications could be life threatening. Stopping the function of high- or hyper-absorbing cells for carbohydrates is the key to lowering HBS or curing type 2 diabetes. High- or hyper-absorbing cells for carbohydrates come from intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and therefore, killing high- or hyper-absorbing cells for carbohydrates and their ISCs by surgical operation might be a novel strategy for curing type 2 diabetes.
