Type 2 diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This condition is sometimes referred to as “insulin resistance.”
Left untreated, this resistance raises blood glucose or sugar levels, which can cause high blood pressure and high cholesterol or impact organs and tissues, including the heart, kidneys, and eyes.
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease that may worsen over time. Thankfully, with committed management and expert care, everyone with type 2 diabetes can lead a healthy life.
Unlike bariatric surgery, metabolic surgery focuses on controlling metabolic conditions, not just excess weight. Metabolism is the chemical reaction in the body’s cells to change food into energy. Metabolic surgery includes surgery for diabetes and surgery for obesity and metabolic syndrome. It may also have surgery for weight reduction when it significantly burdens a patient’s quality of life.
Benefits of Metabolic and Diabetes Surgery
Many patients with diabetes consider metabolic surgery when non-surgical options are not enough to manage their weight and diabetes.
Metabolic and diabetes surgery benefits patients who find it challenging to manage their diabetes and weight. This surgery can:
- Promote remission (significant decrease in symptoms), during which blood sugar levels normalize without medication
- Significantly improve blood glucose, which means that blood sugar levels are controlled more fully with less medication
- Improve metabolic conditions, such as hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat particles, or lipids, in the blood; hypertension (high blood pressure), PCOS/PCOD and sleep apnea
- Improve overall health and quality of life
