The relationship between weight loss surgery and diabetes management is very significant. Surgical weight loss solutions can lead to improvements in blood sugar levels, reduced medication needs, and prevention of diabetes-related complications.
Weight loss surgery improves blood sugar levels and helps individuals better control diabetes in a shorter period of time.
Many patients experience a significant reduction in the need for diabetes medications following weight loss surgery, which not only improves their overall health but also offers potential cost savings on long-term medical expenses.
Weight loss surgery can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye issues.
Weight reduction surgery also improves insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin resistance. This means that after the surgery, the body becomes more responsive to insulin, allowing for better regulation of blood sugar levels.
In some cases, the surgery can result in diabetes remission. This is when blood sugar levels return to normal without the need for diabetes medications.
At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we prioritize the safety of our patients. To be eligible for surgery, individuals need a BMI above a certain threshold and have diabetes that is not well-controlled with medications alone.
Before the procedure, our experienced team guides patients through essential lifestyle adjustments, including adopting a balanced and healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity.
At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we have witnessed numerous success stories among individuals with type 2 diabetes who underwent weight loss surgery at our weight loss clinics.
