Many people with diabetes are tired of taking medication for life in the form of medical therapy and feel like they are living in a “pill jar”. Because the key to medical treatment is to stabilize blood sugar and control it as much as possible, it is not possible to achieve a curative effect. Therefore, every time a patient eats, there is a risk of hyperglycemia, which can only be avoided by taking medication for life. With the development of bariatric surgery techniques in China, gastric bypass surgery for the treatment of diabetes has also begun to attract attention, and more and more diabetic patients are opting for gastric bypass surgery in order to avoid lifelong medication. Based on nearly a decade of surgical experience, the Bariatric and Glucose Reduction Metabolic Surgery Department has concluded that obese type 2 diabetic patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery are basically able to stay in the normal blood glucose range for a long time while also discontinuing their associated glucose-lowering medications. This excellent efficacy is not possible with conventional medical medication. So, while it is necessary to maintain life interventions, diet and exercise during medical treatment, do patients who have been treated with gastric bypass surgery not need life interventions? No, although the surgical results are excellent, if the diet is not balanced as usual, there is a possibility of regained weight and once the abdominal fat accumulates again, diabetes will return. But of course, after gastric bypass surgery, patients don’t have to be too “lighthearted” compared to traditional medical treatment, and it is still possible to “eat a big meal” appropriately.
