Is having diabetes a lifelong disease? Do you want to live the rest of your life in pain? Many diabetic patients have always thought that diabetes can only be treated by traditional internal medicine, but in fact, diabetes surgery can now be surgically treated! Auntie Le from Mile, Yunnan Province, has been suffering from diabetes for many years and has been adhering to medication, but her blood sugar control is very unsatisfactory. Auntie Le was born in a diabetic family, with seven siblings in the family, six of whom suffered from different degrees of diabetes, and the second brother suffered a stroke due to the deterioration of diabetes and had difficulty moving. After being introduced by relatives and friends, it was said that weight loss metabolic surgery could relieve and treat diabetes and its accompanying diseases, and Auntie Le was quite impressed after hearing this. After repeatedly investigating the situation, Auntie Le felt that if she did not treat her diabetes, it would be more serious, and even if no one supported her, she still chose to undergo surgery with great determination. After receiving gastric bypass surgery in 2017, Auntie Le recovered very well, and her blood sugar and blood pressure have all returned to normal. The fifth and seventh sisters of the family have been observing her treatment effect. When they saw that Auntie Le got rid of the medication and her blood sugar returned to normal, they also put down their doubts and underwent the surgery one after another with remarkable results. Now they have both resumed normal life and are in good health. Auntie Le’s third and seventh sisters also underwent weight loss surgery Why is weight loss surgery so effective in treating diabetes? This is because weight loss surgery not only reduces body weight, but also reduces insulin resistance caused by fat accumulation, decreases glucose metabolic load and effectively improves glucose metabolism. The “gold standard procedure” for diabetes – gastric bypass surgery For example, gastric bypass surgery is a surgical procedure that reduces the volume of the stomach, shuts down most of the functions of the stomach, and changes the structure of the intestine, thus further reducing digestive capacity and thus controlling absorption. This is because the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract changes the secretion of hormones in the intestine-islet axis, thereby improving glucose metabolism.
