Metabolic surgery prove its safety and efficiency for many years as a solution of these issues caused by diabetes. Metabolic surgery is an effective and permanent solution for diabetes treatment.
The Studies reveals that metabolic surgery decreases insulin resistance and increases insulın release by means of gastrointestinal hormons (GİP;PYY) without weight loss .The patients who are undergoing metabolic surgery entered diabetes remission before weight loss. This situation has demonstrated the applicability of metabolıc surgery on normal weight or slightly overweight diabetes patients..
Metabolic surgery is much more effective than all the drugs and insulin therapy to control diabetes.
