The first reaction of many people who have type 2 diabetes caused by obesity is with what medication to take and whether to take insulin. A lot of medical advice will say, “It’s time to lose weight!” Because weight loss often works better than taking medication. Why is it better to treat the disease and take medication than to lose weight? Because obesity can cause insulin resistance making insulin less efficient. In other words, obese people often have to secrete far more insulin than normal weight people in order to maintain stable blood sugar. When the pancreas is damaged and insulin is in short supply, the blood sugar becomes abnormal and leads to diabetes. However, the insulin provided by oneself is still much higher than the normal level of normal people. Diabetes is naturally cured by losing weight in time. If the pancreas is damaged, but the pancreatic beta cells are ≥ 1/2 of the normal value, it is also possible to effectively treat diabetes by surgically reconstructing the digestive tract. However, the biggest disadvantage of this surgery is that it makes people lose weight. The root cause of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is that many people think obesity is not a disease. But many chronic diseases caused by obesity are so mischievous that any medicine taken when you are fat can only barely control the condition. But the time to lose weight, and then ready to adjust but found that the disease is not. Taking medication is better than losing weight only for patients with type 2 diabetes caused by obesity, at the same time, during the period of weight loss also need to maintain stable blood sugar through medication. While type 1 diabetes, diabetes patients with severely impaired insulin or a thin body still need to treat their diabetes through conservative methods.
