Bariatric Surgery Resolves Type 2 Diabetes

Obesity is a major risk factor for many diseases including type 2 diabetes.

People who are obese are ten times more likely to develop the disease than those who have healthy weight. Having high body fat leads to insulin resistance and inflammation, causing the classic diabetes symptoms.

When left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to more serious medical issues such as kidney disease, blindness, and even amputations.

Can bariatric surgery treat your diabetes?

Research shows that bariatric surgery improves obesity-related conditions such as diabetes.

In one long-term study involving 400 people with type 2 diabetes, it shows that after 6 years of undergoing bariatric surgery, 62 percent of the subjects show no signs of disease. They also have better blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
