Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking medication and regulate my body. I am asking about the possibility of using intestinal diversion surgery to treat diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, there is currently no evidence to support the implementation of intestinal diversion surgery for the treatment of diabetes. However, if adjustments are made to the gut microbiota or gut function, it may have some impact on diabetes. In such cases, it is still recommended to strictly control diet, as the current advice is to follow standard diabetes treatment. This is because if diabetes reoccurs, it is primarily considered to be due to impaired medical function or a small portion of insulin resistance.
