There are many patients who panic after being found out with type 2 diabetes, how to treat it, what drugs to take, whether to be hospitalized, whether to have infusions and so on, but for the more obese diabetic patients, the doctor will usually tell you that you need to lose weight first. Why do you say that? The proportion of Chinese adults suffering from diabetes is 11.6%, about 113.9 million people, and the number of obese people suffering from diabetes accounts for 41.5%, overweight, obesity is the main risk factors leading to diabetes. In diabetes, 65% of people are overweight or obese, about 74.4 million people in China, obesity often coexists with diabetes, fat people are more likely to be selected as “candidates” for diabetes. Therefore, the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes is very close, there is also insulin resistance caused by obese people, so that the effect of hypoglycemic drugs and insulin is not as good as expected, blood sugar can not be controlled. Of course, some conventional treatments for diabetes are diet control, proper exercise, and oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injections. If you still can’t control your weight, you need to know about weight loss surgery. Weight loss surgery has been practiced in China for about 20 years and is slowly coming into people’s view. This surgery has helped many obese patients to get rid of excessive fat and has also helped many diabetic patients to get rid of high blood sugar and diabetic complications. There are even many patients who no longer need oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections to control them after the surgery and are not treated by medication.
