February 22, 2021

To understand the treatment of any disease – it becomes significant to understand what the condition is, the severity of its prevalence, and the cause. One in every 6 Indian has diabetes. India has 77 million diabetics, making it number 2 on the global list, after China. However, type 2 diabetes is commonly prevalent in older adults. But with an augment in urbanization, lifestyle changes, and elevated obesity in the early stages – type 2 cases have increased in young people.

Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body stops regulating a balance in blood sugar level. It either resists insulin or does not produce enough insulin. Even if the insulin is produced, body cells fail to utilize it efficiently. Which can aggravate existing poor health conditions such as heart-related disease, increase thirst, hunger, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Medical studies show that there can be many causes of diabetes, known and unknown, but the primary reason remains obesity. Especially when you are carrying extra fat around the visceral area.

There can be many treatment options such as exercise, medication, healthy eating and many more- it all hinges upon if we are uprooting the cause. Losing 5-10% of the bodyweight can be a kickstart your body might need if you have diabetes. Study shows it improves your blood sugar level. But obesity cannot be regulated solely by healthy eating or exercise. The fastest way is bariatric surgery along with post-surgery diet care and exercise.

Weight loss surgery can lead to a complete remission of diabetes in most patients. It restricts the amount of food entering the stomach; either by malabsorption of nutrients or by a combination of both gastric restriction and malabsorption. A few changes in lifestyle post-surgery helps in maintaining the lost weight.
