Recent research has found that people who are type 2 diabetics, and are obese will benefit from weight loss<\/a> surgery. It seems doing so helps manage their diabetes better.<\/p>\n

Diabetes is a complex disorder manifested by the inability of the body to control blood-sugar levels. Type 1 diabetics generally need insulin to control blood-sugar but type 2 diabetics normally need just medication<\/a> and \/ or improved diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However while some type 2 diabetics inherit the disorder (there is a one in 2 chance of offspring inheriting the disease from one parent with the problem) lifestyle often plays a part. What\u2019s more as well as damaging tissues and organs, most type 2 diabetics are overweight.<\/p>\n

The study into the effects of surgery on type 2 diabetics was carried out by Professor Katherine Samaras from the Garvan Institute and St. Vincent’s Hospital in Australia.<\/p>\n

The study followed 15 diabetics also described as morbidly obese. The latter is one with a body mass index of over 40. All patients had gastric band surgery.<\/p>\n

Speaking with reporters, Professor Samaras said that weight loss has been a known factor in improvement for many years and that this proved it.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t the only finding. It appears that patients suffered less inflammation as a result of surgery. It is believed this relates to the reduction in the fall in glucose levels.<\/p>\n

Although Professor Samaras believes that diet must be the main factor in controlling blood-sugar levels, she added that she understands the band treatment likely helps to reduce calorie intake.<\/p>\n

Diabetes is a massive problem, particularly in highly developed industrial societies. Lifestyle is blamed for most of the cases.<\/p>\n

Although bariatric surgery is obviously a useful treatment, Professor Samaras and others cautions that it will be wrong for type 2 diabetics to think the procedure is a cure.<\/p>\n

Diabetes cannot currently be cured \u2013 only managed.<\/p>\n
