It is said that for every 3 Americans born in the year 2000, 1 of them is likely to be contracted with diabetes during his lifetime. This means that by the year 2050, 29 million Americans will be diagnosed with diabetes, while another 10 million will have undiagnosed diabetes. This figure is estimated by The Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Diabetes is a fatal disease that touches millions of people all over the world (not just in the United States), whether it's those with the disease, or friends and family members who are suffering the implications. Diabetes is a disorder that affects the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose to enter the body's cells and be used for energy. Diabetes is a serious disease that can cause problems with one's heart, feet, kidneys, and eyes.
In Canada, it is said that approximately $9 billion were lost every year because of Diabetes, which is the 7th leading cause of deaths in this country. Diabetes are also known to be causing blindness among adults.
Although diabetes surgery may be an interesting option for diabetic patients, there aren't yet any long term data on its benefits and risks in large numbers of people.
Performing surgeries to cure diabetes is definitely a good solution, but you have to remember that the results are not 100% guaranteed. Type 2 diabetes sufferers, however, can't have surgeries done on them. On the other hand, type 1 diabetes sufferers are a little more fortunate - they can have diabetic surgeries.
98% of obese diabetes patients who underwent surgeries are successful - they managed to get rid of their diabetes a few weeks later. This is not because of their weight loss, as the time interval is too short to be able to lose that much weight.
However, even though research has been done to claim that diabetic surgery can cure diabetes, some doctors still feel that resorting to this is the last resort.
Diabetes is becoming an increasingly global health threat. If diabetes is not treated it can cause long-term health problems because the high glucose levels in the blood will damage the blood vessels. Simply put, diabetes is a very lethal disease that impairs the body's ability to utilize food properly. The key to managing diabetes is education and knowledge.
