How Bariatric Surgery helps Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes and there is currently an alarming rise in this disease prevalence throughout the world. Diabetes is one of the top ten leading causes of U.S. deaths and affects more than 150 million people worldwide. Bariatric Surgery can make a great difference for people with Type 2 Diabetes.
Bariatric Surgery involves a lifestyle change that includes a weight-loss journey through appropriate diet, exercise and vitamins and supplements as well as an actual medical procedure to help the patient eat less while feeling full much quicker. All these prescribed treatment regimens may help to keep blood sugar levels from being excessively high. That is, Bariatric Surgery may improve blood sugar control by altering the levels of gut hormones, as well as by speeding up weight loss. For some people, blood sugar levels can even get back to normal after surgery. Diabetes can be cured as well as controlled.
Nearly all individuals who have Bariatric Surgery show improvement in their diabetic state. Gastric Bypass and Gastric Sleeve are the most common Bariatric Surgeries performed and have the best-known effects on T2DM. After both procedures, people must follow a reduced-calorie, low fat, healthy meal plan to lose weight. Remission of diabetes with gastric bypass occurs early on right after surgery and before there is a significant weight-loss. The gastric sleeve also has some weight-loss independent effects on glucose metabolism and also causes some changes in gut hormones that help with improvement in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Bariatric Surgery should be considered as an alternative and powerful treatment option to minimize Type 2 diabetes. It is important however that each patient’s individual risks for surgery should be evaluated with regards to the severity of their diabetes as well as their other obesity-related health problems.
It is very important to consider the basic criteria for Bariatric Surgery:
+ Body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, which is about 100 pounds overweight for men and 80 pounds for women,
+ BMI between 30 and 39.9 with a serious obesity-related health problem such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or serious sleep apnea.
Bariatric Surgery helps overweight diabetic people lose a substantial amount of weight having a positive impact on their health. The decision to have Bariatric Surgery should be made with the help of a doctor knowledgeable about the procedures who can help you decide what is right for you.
