Role Of Bariatric Surgery In Type 2 Diabetes
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The obesity pandemic resulted in an exponential rise in the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) globally. T2 DM as a consequence of obesity - the diabesity - is a difficult clinical problem faced by physicians with limited medical management options. Bariatric surgery or metabolic surgery has emerged as a promising treatment option in patients with diabesity that results in marked weight loss and remission of T2 DM in a majority of cases. Although invasive, costly and associated with complications in a minor proportion of patients, bariatric surgery is recommended as an important management option for severely obese individuals with or without diabesity by many professional bodies globally. This review discusses the important types, benefits, indications and complications of bariatric surgery in patients with diabesity with an up to date scientific evidence.
