Obesity And Links With Diabetes
Obesity has long been linked with type 2 diabetes, but fresh reports demonstrate clearly just how much obesity impacts on the development of the condition. The latest research pays specific attention to obese females, the 'Journal of American College of Surgeons' tells how surgical procedures can lower obesity can successively lower the odds of diabetes diagnosis.
From a total of 700 obese women who underwent surgery, 77% were not as likely to have diabetes during pregnancy as those obese women who did not have surgery. The surgery, which usually involves the fitting of a gastric band, restricts the amount of food a patient can intake, encouraging weight loss and therefore decreases the chance of type 2 diabetes on-set.
Whilst the surgery shows encouraging benefits for obese pregnant women (who may otherwise be likely to develop gestational diabetes) the results were based on USA insurance results rather than direct study of a controlled selection of pregnant women.
If correct however, the results of this obesity surgery could be useful for both men and women who are likely to develop diabetes at their current bodyweight. Surgery can be a solution for any 'clinically' obese person whether 'severely' or 'less severely' obese. As with all surgery there are complications that can occasionally follow, such as; serious bleeding, blood clots, infection, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and hernia development. There is also the chance that unsatisfactory weight loss will be achieved.
The common cost of obesity surgery is between 12,000 to 16,000. A dissimilar study last month shows that whilst dear, surgery could be the way to bring down the costs of managing type 2 diabetes. The study uncovered that just 15% of diabetes patients were still asking medical treatment 2 years after the surgical procedure, signifying that vast savings in treatment costs are made. Not only can obesity treatment help in reducing the costs of diabetes but it may in addition assist in the decrease of other health implications of being obese.
