Recognize diabetes surgery as a way to lower sugar? Who knows about diabetes surgery? Nowadays, the material conditions are getting better and better, diabetes is no longer a “rich man’s disease”, and many common people are deeply disturbed by it. I think when I first got the disease, it was only when I went for a medical checkup that I realized my blood sugar was on the high side. For the general public, the symptoms of diabetes are difficult to recognize, blood sugar measurement and the need to buy equipment, finger prick, which leaves a lot of room for the development of the disease. The danger of diabetes lies mainly in the persistent damage to various organs of the body caused by excessively high blood sugar. If the blood sugar is properly controlled, many serious complications can be avoided, and the quality of life is not very different from normal people. Once left unchecked, it is not long before tragedy strikes. What are the symptoms of diabetes and how can we be alert and detect it early in life? Thirsty and drinking a lot, urinating a lot at night Normally, the kidneys keep large molecules such as proteins in the blood through filtration, so that small molecules such as toxic substances, water, inorganic salts, etc. enter the renal tubules and form primary urine. Subsequently, the kidneys reabsorb useful substances such as water and salt back into the body by changing the permeability of the renal tubular walls and increasing the osmotic pressure of the surrounding tissues. In diabetes mellitus, a large amount of sugar is present in the primary urine, which greatly increases the osmotic pressure of the primary urine and drastically diminishes the reabsorption of water by the kidneys, resulting in polyuria, followed by dehydration of the body, and the patient is always thirsty and has a dry throat. Eat a lot of food, but weight loss In the eyes of the doctor, the change in weight is an important signal to respond to the nutritional status of a period of time, a major disease. For example, many tumor patients have significant weight loss in a relatively short period of time due to the malignant nature of the body. It turns out that weight loss without realizing it is actually a dangerous omen, in the absence of intentionality, but the weight loss of 5 kilograms per month, then this shows that the body must have problems. Diabetes is ultimately a lack or malfunction of insulin, which results in the body’s tissues not being able to properly utilize glucose to produce energy. In other words, there is sugar that is all piled up in the bloodstream but cannot get into the cells to be utilized. In this way, the brain is still in a state of energy deficiency, and thus hungry and overeating; the tissues can not utilize the energy, but instead, wasting away, and it is easy to produce fatigue and fatigue. Dry skin and itchy body If dry and itchy skin occurs, at this time it may be caused by diabetes. As mentioned above, excessive blood glucose will directly affect the normal metabolism of peripheral sensory nerves, and the damage of blood glucose to the capillaries will indirectly jeopardize the supply of peripheral nerves, so that the body will feel itchy (especially itchy pubic area), tingling, numbness and other peripheral nerve irritation symptoms. Recognize diabetes surgery as a way to lower sugar? Gastric diversion surgery is unique in that it changes the physiologic flow of food and is accomplished through the steps of gastric blockade, gastrointestinal anastomosis, and enteroenteric anastomosis. After the surgery, the insulin resistance of the patient’s body is eliminated, and the way food flows through the body after the surgery also promotes insulin secretion in the patient’s body, reduces apoptosis and proliferation of pancreatic islet cells, restores pancreatic islet function, and cures diabetes mellitus. In addition to the normalization of blood glucose, a series of complications associated with the patient has been well recovered. For example, retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic dermatitis, diabetic sexual dysfunction, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and so on are gradually cured. Serious complications were eliminated, and disabling and fatal conditions were avoided. Gastric Bypass Surgery (GBP), less traumatic, low risk, fast recovery, no recurrence; after surgery, most of the patients’ blood glucose returned to normal before discharge from the hospital, stopping the use of glucose-lowering drugs and insulin; a small portion of the patients’ recovery time is a little bit longer, which mainly depends on the degree of the patient’s preoperative damage to the pancreatic islet function. Patients who are treated early will recover faster and more completely. Advantages of surgery: Advantage 1: Cure diabetes, normal blood sugar, patients get rid of lifelong medication, no need to control diet. There are two main causes of diabetes: one is insulin resistance. The second is pancreatic islet failure. After gastric diversion surgery, insulin resistance is gone, pancreatic islet function is restored, and diabetes is gone. Advantage 2: Diabetic complications get recovered. Internal medicine cannot reverse the complications that have already occurred in the patients, while after gastric diversion surgery, most of the diabetic complications such as numbness of hands and feet, retinopathy, diabetic foot, abnormal urinary protein, hypertension and so on gradually recovered. Advantage 3: Avoid the occurrence of disabling and fatal conditions caused by diabetes. When diabetes develops to a serious degree, it can pose a serious threat to a person’s life. After gastric diversion surgery, blood sugar is normalized, complications no longer occur, and the dangers of diabetes are gone.
