Weight-loss operation can send diabetics into remission
If you have diabetes and are overweight, is it better to diet, or have surgery. Here's the latest information from The Globe and Mail:
Almost three in every four obese people suffering from diabetes can be cured of the disease with bariatric surgery, according to a groundbreaking new study, one that some experts say opens the door to changes in treatment of diabetes as profound as the discovery of insulin.
Researchers found that 73 per cent of patients whose stomachs were shrunk with the simple surgical procedure were cured of Type 2 diabetes.
By contrast, only 13 per cent of diabetics who followed conventional therapy - dieting, weight loss and medication - went into remission.
John Dixon, head of clinical research at the Centre for Obesity Research and Education at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and lead author of the paper, stressed that obese patients saw their diabetes disappear when they lost significant amounts of weight.
