Type 2 Diabetes

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Diabetes patients are divided into groups within themselves. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes among these groups. Patients with type 2 diabetes generally consist of people aged 40 and over. In addition, another common feature of these patients is that they are overweight. Type 2 diabetes is often detected too late. It gives symptoms as a result of febrile diseases, unexplained and rapid weight gain, pregnancy or different surgeries in advancing age.

TWhat Are the Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed later than Type 1 diabetes. However, there are some indications for early diagnosis in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The most noticeable of these symptoms is to feel the need to urinate frequently. In case of frequent need to urinate, excessive water consumption and frequent eating and hunger are observed. The need to eat frequently causes excess weight gain or weight loss after a while. Apart from these symptoms, there is an increase in glucose in the blood. No matter how often water is consumed in patients with type 2 diabetes, an intense dry mouth still occurs. Not only in the mouth, but also on the surface of the skin, dryness and cracking are frequently observed.

What Should Be Done in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes?

The most important thing that diabetics should do during the treatment is to be determined and patient. The first step in this area is definitely the regulation of eating habits. It may be necessary to change the lifestyle, even if it is to regulate the eating habits. The person's new lifestyle should definitely include exercise and movement. If blood sugar does not fall within normal limits with this regular lifestyle, additional medication is continued. However, in some patients, drug therapy does not give effective results. In such cases, insulin therapy is started. The glycemic targets of obese diabetic subjects are similar to diabetic subjects without obesity. For this purpose, persistence in terms of lifestyle changes is important for both weight control and diabetes treatment.

The Role of Metabolic Surgery in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

In type 2 diabetes patients, it wraps tightly around the cells in the digestive system and prevents insulin from entering the cell. At the end of metabolic surgery applications, these problems are solved. By opening the resistance hormones in the body, insulin manages to enter the cell easily. As a result of this process, an improvement occurs in blood sugar values, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Apart from these, solutions are produced for the problems of high blood pressure, excess weight and fatty liver, kidney damage and foot wounds.
