Yes it can.
A study published in the Journal of Medical Association on 23rd January 2008 revealed that obesity surgery can help slow down or even cure diabetes. Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to either produce or use the amounts of insulin in the body. About 21 million children and grown ups in the United States are said to be suffering from this chronic disease. Obesity on the other hand, is an epidemic that has already engulfed about 1/3 of the population in the United States.
Obesity surgery targets at making the stomach small to avoid overeating. The doctors therefore reduce the size of the stomach to degree where only one ounce of food can be held in it. The results are effective in losing body weight where people having undergone the obesity surgery are reported to lose weight continuously for about 1 and a half to 2 years. Sometimes obese people can lose as much as 100 pounds.
The study was conducted on 60 obese patients suffering with type 2 diabetes in Australia. From among the 55 who completed the entire follow-up treatment, about 72% of them confirmed a control on diabetes. Researchers further claimed that the study helped in proving that obesity surgery helped in checking diabetes as compared to any other traditional therapy.
