  Auntie Le from Mile, Yunnan Province, has been suffering from diabetes for many years and has been adhering to medication, but her blood sugar is not well controlled. Auntie Le was born in a diabetic family, with seven siblings in the family, six of whom have different degrees of diabetes. The second brother suffered a stroke due to the deterioration of diabetes and has difficulty moving around.  Auntie Le is the sixth sister in the family. Seeing that her siblings are all troubled by diabetes, she desperately hopes to get rid of this disease. Once she heard from a relative or friend that weight loss metabolic surgery could relieve and treat diabetes and its accompanying diseases, she was quite impressed and hesitated to consider surgery to treat diabetes, but was opposed by the whole family.  As dozens of local sugar lovers had already had diabetes surgery in Mile End, after repeatedly investigating after multiple inquiries, Auntie Le felt that if she did not treat her diabetes, it would be more serious, and even though she had no one to support her, she was still very determined to undergo the surgery.  After receiving gastric bypass surgery in 2017, Auntie Le recovered very well, and her blood sugar and blood pressure have returned to normal.  After Auntie Le’s surgery, her fifth and seventh sisters at home have been observing the effect of her treatment. Seeing that Auntie Le got rid of her 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 resumed normal life and are in good health.  Auntie Le’s fifth and seventh sisters were hospitalized for surgery. In recent years, the incidence of diabetes in China has been increasing year by year due to the accelerated urbanization and aging process, along with the change in lifestyle, resulting in an increase in the number of obese and overweight people. China is already the number one country for diabetes, with 114 million people suffering from diabetes and more than 1.3 million people dying from diabetes and its complications every year, and diabetes has become an important public health problem.  Mile City in Yunnan is a high prevalence area for diabetes, and the incidence of diabetes in the region is rapidly increasing and is characterized by low age, familiality and clustering. The number of Mile patients who have undergone diabetes surgery consultation in our hospital has reached hundreds, and the number of those who have successfully undergone weight loss metabolic surgery is 54. More than 95% of diabetic patients have been effectively treated and controlled after surgery, and returned to a healthy life.  In view of the situation of patients in the Mile area of Yunnan, in order to make more friends in Mile aware of the dangers of obesity and diabetes, to change the wrong treatment methods and to understand the therapeutic effects of bariatric metabolic surgery, we will also visit and get to know the old Mile patients after bariatric and diabetic surgery, to give them care and post-operative guidance.
