Operation Weight Loss Could heal Diabetes

Study the new record in the American Journal of Medical Association shows that weight-loss surgery can treat diabetes, as U.S. media reports.
In the study, some Australian researchers found that patients who undergo surgery to reduce the size of their stomach five times more likely to face the fact that their diabetes disappears in the next two years, compared with patients who undergo the standard health care.
"That is the best therapy for diabetics that we have today, and the risk is very low," said lead author in the study is Dr.. John Dixon of Monash University Medical School in Melbourne, Australia.
Dixon and 60 friends learn well with the fat body mass index more than 30 but less than 40. Body mass index, or BMI, the ratio is higher proportionate weight. BMI 30 or greater is considered to be overweight.
All the patients are overweight and have been diagnosed suffering from type 2 diabetes during the past two years. Their age average is 47 years old.
Half the patients to undergo stomach surgery in circumference, and other groups to undergo the normal treatment reduced body weight; throughout the study, the team is to see whether the decrease in body weight through surgery can be an effective treatment for diabetes type 2.
Some 75% of patients who undergo stomach surgery in circumference with diabetes find their lost time in two years after the operation.
For those who care undergo the normal decrease in body weight, only 13% can eliminate the disease.
In addition, they undergo a stomach operation to lose 20.7% their body weight after two years, compared with less than 1.7% of their normal therapy to decrease body weight.
"An important findings in this study is the decrease in the level of body weight, not the method, appears to be the main mover and the loss of glycaemic improvement in diabetic patients is very well-fat," said Dixon.
"This has a significant impact, because it shows that intensive therapy reduced body weight may be a first step that is more effective in overcoming diabetes compared with lifestyle changes that simple," he said.
However, Dixon said, "The attitude of caution is needed in interpreting the long-term benefits from the operation and decrease body weight."
