The medical issues of obesity and Type-II diabetes are on the rise. This explains the direct relationship between weight and glucose levels. Diabetes surgery is helpful in long-lasting weight loss and significantly controls diabetes. This procedure also helps normalize concentrations of plasma glucose, insulin, and HbA1c in morbidly obese patients.
This surgery is recommended for people who have uncontrolled diabetes and BMI greater than 28. It not only results in weight loss but is also effective in maintaining glucose balance.
Various bariatric procedures help in the remission of diabetes such as gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, and ileal interposition. The type of surgery is chosen after analyzing patient history and condition.
During the surgery, GLP-1 hormone is secreted in large quantities which helps reduce insulin resistance.
Diabetes has remained a chronic and progressive disease. Patients with Type-2 diabetes and morbid obesity who undergo this surgery often experience complete and durable diabetes remission. Consequently, diabetes resolution after this surgery is highly correlated with effective weight loss results.
