Weight Loss Surgery is Effective in Controlling Diabetes

Weight Loss Surgery is Effective in Controlling Diabetes
As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 12 Americans suffer from diabetes and by 2050, it is expected that 25% of the nation’s population will be suffering from it.
CDC officials were of the view that there are many reasons which make a person diabetic, and one of the main reasons is obesity. It has been found that 90 to 95% of obese people suffer from diabetes. The CDC’s new report, which has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has raised concerns among the authorities concerned.
The report has also talked about weight-loss surgery, which is quite in trend these days. It is said that weight loss surgery is the most effective way to stay protected from diabetes. Two clinical trials have taken place, and both the trials have revealed that volunteers were able to leave diabetes medication after a few days of the surgery.
"In our opinion, 80 percent diabetes resolution is a dramatically excellent result, compared with results of a medical approach in which there's not diabetes resolution”, said Dr. Nicola Basso, who is a Professor of surgery at the University of Rome and was involved in both the clinical trials.
