People with diabetes should be offered gastric surgery as a standard treatment option which could help control it for years without medication, the world's leading diabetes groups said.
A
joint statement from a 45-strong group said on Tuesday that bariatric,
or metabolic, surgery could have a significant benefit for hundreds of
thousands of patients worldwide, which they said represented one of the
biggest shifts in diabetes treatment guidelines since the advent of
insulin.
The
new guidelines say surgery to reduce the stomach and induce weight loss
should be recommended to treat all diabetes patients whose body mass
index (BMI) is 40 or over, regardless of their blood glucose control, as
well as those with a BMI of 30 and over whose blood sugar levels are
not being controlled by lifestyle changes or medication.
