Metabolic surgery for Diabetes in
Pakistan – the last resort by ALSA Pakistan
Diabetes is in a strong correlation with obesity, and the condition is also called diabesity. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that refers to insufficient insulin production. On the other hand, the body fails to utilize the produced insulin effectively, which is also known as ‘insulin resistance. If not treated, blood sugar levels rise and negatively affect other organs of the body. As it is a progressive disease the patients who fail to achieve their blood sugar levels with a healthy diet, medication, overall lifestyle changes, ALSA Pakistan offers metabolic surgery for diabetes.
An insight into Metabolic Surgery
The current practices of metabolic surgery root from the first bariatric surgery in 1953 by Richard L. Varco. The surgery included the reconstruction of the GI tract. Later on, gastric bypass surgery was introduced. Over time, the treatments have evolved and improved to their best current practices.
Furthermore, over the last decade, metabolic surgery has been growing at a fast pace. Consequently, the surgery proved to be a reliable solution for obesity that further improved type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, we ensure relief in type 2 diabetes and morbidities such as hypertension, blood cholesterol levels, and HbA1c. Hence, metabolic surgery for diabetes is one of our last resorts to treat diabetes.
