End Type 2 Diabetes 1 Way
As the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, obesity is a rising epidemic in our nation. But some may not realize the real threat of obesity is less about the weight and more about the health conditions associated with being overweight.
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that 73 percent of people with diabetes who received gastric banding combined with conventional therapy achieved remission, which is defined as normal blood sugar levels and no need for diabetes medication. By contrast, just 13 percent of those who received only conventional therapy went into remission.
Additionally, within days of surgery and long before significant weight loss, many patients with type 2 diabetes experience complete remission. This phenomenon has led some to believe that metabolic surgery may also be appropriate for diabetic individuals who are of normal weight or only slightly overweight.
