cure for type 2 diabetes
Bariatric and metabolic surgery
It is a set of surgical procedures designed to help people with severe obesity lose weight and improve their metabolic health. These procedures alter the digestive system to limit the amount of food that can be eaten or reduce nutrient absorption, or both. The most common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
The primary goal of bariatric surgery is to induce significant and sustained weight loss in people who have not achieved results with nonsurgical methods such as diet and exercise. In addition to weight loss, these procedures can improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular disease.
has proven to be a powerful tool in the treatment of various obesity-related diseases.
How does it work?
- Calorie restriction: By reducing the size of the stomach, the amount of food that can be ingested is limited, leading to significant weight loss.
- Hormonal changes: Surgery can also modify the production of hormones related to appetite and metabolism, which helps control hunger and burn more calories.
- Improved insulin resistance: Many patients experience significant improvement in insulin resistance after surgery, which can lead to remission of type 2 diabetes.
What diseases benefit?
- Metabolic diseases: Bariatric surgery has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Hypertension: Surgery-induced weight loss can significantly reduce blood pressure.
- Joint disease: By reducing the load on the joints, surgery can relieve pain and improve function in patients with arthritis.
- Heart disease: Bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by improving risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels.
What is the scientific evidence?
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of bariatric surgery in the treatment of these diseases. These studies have shown significant remission rates of diabetes, improvements in lipid profiles, and a reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality.
