Is weight-reduction surgery really cures diabetes? This maybe hard to believe, but this is a fact. Elizabeth Simpson from Associated Press reported a woman named Mary Writesel lose her diabetes after weight-reduction surgery, see the news detail.
According to the WebMD, weight-reduction surgery or obesity surgery involves making changes to stomach or small intestine. Long time ago this surgery involves intestines bypass in order to reduce nutrients absorbing from the foods. The side effect, patient will lose nutrition that must be fulfilled everyday, in other word malnutrition. Surgeons now have better techniques, it is restrictive surgery to limit the amount of food stomach can hold by removing some section of the stomach, therefore patient eats less because the stomach is smaller and can’t get many amount of food, see the detail.
Related to diabetes we have to know about the main cause of diabetes:
- The main cause of diabetes is the body’s failure to produce enough of the insulin hormone, see the detail.
- It’s important to be aware of myths about the causes of diabetes. Eating too much sugar does not cause diabetes. However, it may cause obesity and this is associated with people developing type 2 diabetes, see the detail.
The critics about the weight-reduction surgery are people more likely to have a surgery without maintaining their body quality such as fat levels, and blood tension through quality diet and exercises. After surgery people can still be affected by diabetes if they are don’t about their health and body weight. The same critics can be viewed here.
I think it is all about challenging body weight to win the battle from diabetes. It is not only about weight-reduction surgery, but also will to change the diet lifestyle.
