- How Bariatric Surgery Affects Blood Sugar Levels
Bariatric surgery, particularly gastric bypass, alters the digestive system, leading to improved insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. The rapid weight loss post-surgery also contributes to stabilizing blood glucose. - Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: What the Research Says
Studies show that bariatric surgery can lead to remission of type 2 diabetes in many patients, often within weeks of the procedure, especially for those diagnosed within the past few years. - Post-Surgery Medication Adjustments
After surgery, patients often require less diabetes medication or insulin. Regular monitoring is crucial, as some may even stop medication altogether. - Long-Term Diabetes Management After Weight Loss
While bariatric surgery offers dramatic improvements, long-term success in diabetes remission depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups, and ongoing monitoring of blood sugar levels.
