Diabetes surgery (bariatric surgery) has become one of the standard treatment options for diabetes because of its stable and long-lasting effect on blood glucose control, which is much better than medication alone, and is also known as the “sixth horse” of comprehensive diabetes treatment. The treatment principle of diabetes surgery has a lot to do with the reduction of the patient’s diet. After diabetes surgery, the patient can only eat a very small amount of food each time, and the blood sugar can rise only to a limited extent, so it is easier to control, and many patients can control their blood sugar within the normal range even without drugs. Based on this principle, some people suggest that adopting a low-calorie diet can also achieve such an effect. In fact, the use of a low-calorie diet to treat diabetes has been studied both at home and abroad, and in some places there are even clinical applications, such as the frequent use of low-calorie meal replacements in Western countries to help patients with their treatment. are all common adverse effects. In contrast, diabetic surgery is much milder. The common side effects of diabetes surgery include acid reflux and vomiting, constipation, hair loss, etc. They are less harmful to the human body and have appropriate solutions, which can usually be resolved more quickly under the guidance of a doctor. Out of fear of surgery, some people have to undergo surgery when their condition is more serious, and before that, they are reluctant to undergo surgery as long as there are other ways to relieve their condition. However, medical technology is now very mature and the safety of surgery has been greatly improved. Surgery for diabetes, like cholecystectomy, is actually similar to conventional minor surgery in terms of risk, but the benefits are very great.
