Diabetes has always been treated along the lines of the internal medicine approach. Taking glucose-lowering drugs, taking insulin, controlling diet, doing exercises, etc. to keep blood sugar in a normal range. However, it has been proven that many patients cannot control their blood sugar well, and serious complications such as numbness in hands and feet, retinopathy, cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease, kidney failure, amputation, and even death can occur one after another. Although after so many years of research, so far, there is no drug in the world that can cure diabetes. Internal medicine still believes that diabetes, can only be treated with medication for life. So much so that new treatments such as gastric diversion surgery, many people are reluctant to try, or even apprehensive and skeptical. So what is gastric diversion? Here’s what Dr. Dai Xiaojiang of Youdao Group has to say! Gastric bypass surgery was first used in bariatric surgery. Westerners had been consuming high fat and high calories for a long time, and their weight kept rising. One comprehensive analysis of 22,094 patients showed that 84% of type 2 diabetes was completely reversed after the procedure, and most patients stopped taking oral medication or insulin therapy before being discharged from the hospital. Gastric diversion surgery is unique in that it changes the physiological flow of food and is accomplished through steps such as gastric blockade, gastrointestinal anastomosis, and enteroenteric anastomosis. After the surgery, insulin resistance in the patient’s body is eliminated, and the way food flows through the body after the surgery also promotes insulin secretion in the patient’s body, reduces apoptosis and proliferation of islet cells, restores islet function, and cures diabetes. In addition to the normalization of blood sugar, the patient recovered well from a series of accompanying complications. For example, retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic dermatitis, diabetic sexual dysfunction, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc. were gradually cured. The occurrence of serious complications has been eliminated, and the occurrence of disabling and fatal situations has been avoided. In the United States, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the world’s leading authority on diabetes treatment, has officially included gastric diversion surgery (GBP) in the Diabetes Prevention and Control Guidelines, establishing it as a routine treatment for diabetes. In Europe, the 45th Annual Meeting of the European Society for the Study of Diabetes on September 29, 2009 confirmed that diabetes has become a surgically curable gastrointestinal disease. In China, the Chinese Medical Association, the Chinese Medical Association, the Chinese Center for Continuing Medical Education and other authoritative organizations have made gastric diversion surgery a key promotion project for three consecutive years.
