There is evidence that the best treatment for type 2 diabetes may also be the most dramatic: the stomach reduction surgery, perhaps accompanied by intestinal rearrangement. These remedies are even regarded as extreme as a measure of how intractable they have become two interrelated epidemics in the United States: obesity and diabetes. Diabetes of any kind is a disease that kills 73.000 Americans each year, making it the fifth leading cause of death in this country. This condition is characterized by an inability to produce or use insulin, resulting in the blood levels rise, damaging the kidneys, blood vessels, eyes, and nerves of the feet. There is no cure for diabetes, only hoping to control it with strict diets, medications and a lifetime of care.
Unfortunately, many patients are unable to meet even stricter regime, the kilos are lost in going back up and many of them suffer heart attacks, blindness, failure kidney or amputation of the feet. A new study by Australian researchers, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, promises extraordinary results, yet the picture against, and even warnings about the preliminary results in a relatively small group of patients who had mild diabetes. We studied 60 obese patients who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Half of them were given conventional treatment, including diet, exercise and medicine the rest received conventional treatment plus a surgery that places a band around the stomach (known as), shrinking its size and limit food. In almost three quarters of patients who had surgery, missing all the signs of diabetes. Only 13% of patients with conventional therapy had complete remissions. The difference was due to weight loss.
Patients in the medically treated group lost only 1.7% of their weight on average. Those who had a surgery lost 20.7%. There were no serious complications with the minimally invasive procedure. Other studies show that surgery, a riskier surgery in which the stomach is stapled and rearranged the intestinal tract is much more effective, achieving remission in a matter of days or weeks, long before there is a substantial weight loss in the individual. This is apparently because the surgery produces metabolic changes that lower glucose levels in the blood, more than the mere loss of weight can make. Some experts predict that surgical treatment will become increasingly common in coming years. Before that happens, it is essential to see the results of patients and find out which patients may benefit from surgery much more expensive than home always some risk. Conclusion: Obesity Goodbye, “we can offer a suitable treatment for you, by band surgery or gastric sleeve, gastric balloon and gastric bypass. All surgery involves some risks, but the benefits of these procedures are many weight loss, remission of diabetes, lower cholesterol, there is less fatigue, more emotional, in short, there is an improvement in the quality of life.
