Does bariatric surgery cure type 2 diabetes?
Yes. Doctors have found that metabolic surgery or bariatric surgery can treat type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels.

Obesity is an important factor in diabetes. Obese people are about 10 times more likely to develop diabetes. The reason for this is that fatty and high-carbohydrate foods cause fat to accumulate in the liver and muscles. This increases insulin resistance.

Because glucose is able to enter the cells by a hormone called insulin, if your body does not produce enough insulin, the glucose cannot reach the cells and remains in the blood.

If this situation lasts for a long time, it can cause an increase in the level of blood sugar or glucose, resulting in diabetes. (Diabetes is a disease that occurs when blood sugar is too high).

Every year, in addition to the high cost of diabetes-related drugs, many costs are paid for the complications caused by diabetes and related diseases.

Bariatric and metabolic surgery is the most definitive and effective method of treating type 2 diabetes in obese and overweight people.

 

Does bariatric surgery cure insulin resistance?
After bariatric surgery, insulin levels decrease before weight loss occurs.

Studies show that bariatric surgery improves and even cures type 2 diabetes by improving insulin resistance.

 

Diabetes recovery rate after bariatric surgery:
Blood sugar improvement may begin immediately after metabolic surgery.
The recovery rate of diabetes after bariatric surgery or bariatric surgery is more than 80%, and these 80% recover completely, and in the rest of the cases, the amount of medication and the type of medication taken by a person with type 2 diabetes is reduced, so that After obesity surgery, there is no need to prescribe insulin and the hormones effective in regulating blood sugar are released in a sufficient amount from the person's new digestive system.
Also, with bariatric surgery, the possibility of heart and brain stroke, heart and kidney failure, sleep apnea, and fatty liver is reduced.
 

If you follow the dietary guidelines given by your bariatric surgeon (including time and amount of food) after weight loss surgery, you will lose weight in the short and long term.

After the operation, you will first have a liquid diet, then the diet will gradually change to solid food as determined by the bariatric surgeon and nutritionist.

 

Low blood sugar after bariatric surgery
Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar can be a complication after bariatric surgery.

The good news is that it is possible to control this problem.
