Patient's question:
I want to consult about the effectiveness of surgical treatment for diabetes. I want to treat my diabetes through surgery. I'm speechless. I've had this diabetes since I was a child, and my family hasn't changed either. Surgical treatment might be a bit better, I guess. It doesn't work after eating!Doctor's answer:
Diabetes is a common and frequently occurring disease in the field of endocrinology. Surgical treatment is not necessary unless the patient is particularly obese, as prolonged dietary control may allow for gastric bypass surgery to further treat diabetes. However, there are certain risks involved, and the cost is relatively high. Generally, diabetic patients can achieve better results through strict dietary control, preferably adopting a meal system while engaging in physical activity. Additionally, using hypoglycemic drugs or adding insulin is highly effective and surgery is not necessary.
