Los Angeles: According to research, through bariatric surgery, type 2 diabetes can be cured more quickly and with longer-lasting effects than with medications and lifestyle modifications.
A new study from Pennington Biomedical Research Center, published in the journal Diabetes Care, assessed 316 patients with type 2 diabetes to determine the effectiveness and long-term results of metabolic surgery. This is the largest study to date to evaluate metabolic surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, as a treatment for type 2 diabetes.
