Diabetes surgery, or metabolic surgery, aids in enhancing glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients, especially in those obese and unresponsive to conventional treatments. Two primary procedures are:
1. Sleeve gastrectomy: Removes a portion of the stomach, limiting food intake.
2. Gastric bypass: Creates a small stomach pouch, redirecting the digestive tract to reduce food absorption.
Both surgeries promote significant weight loss and glycemic control, sometimes leading to type 2 diabetes remission. Benefits include improved glycemic control, weight loss, and reduced cardiovascular and renal risks. Risks entail infection, bleeding, gastrointestinal leakage, dumping syndrome, and nutritional deficiencies. Candidates typically have type 2 diabetes, obesity (BMI ≥35 or ≥30 with comorbidities), and failed conservative management. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential to assess suitability for surgery.
