Bariatric Surgery to treat obese patients with Diabetes Type 2
Diabetes is a devastating health condition all over the world. Roughly 8.3% of all people in the world have this disease, and the number is increasing (Walker, 2013).Uncontrolled diabetes results in several lasting problems such as strokes, heart attacks, blindness, failure of the kidney, as well as the need for amputations. For a long time, bariatric surgeons have understood that bariatric surgery has a major effect on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, primary care physicians are usually hesitant to recommend this surgery due to lack of sufficient quality studies that compare the effectiveness of surgical intervention verses medical therapy in treating T2DM (Davies et al., 2014). The evidence-based project described in this paper was designed to help in answering this question.The Evidenced-Based Project-Project on diabetes describing a new treatment for diabetes in adults is: Bariatric Surgery Versus Intensive Medical Therapyfor Diabetes – 3-Year Outcomes. The New England Journal of Medicine by Schaueret al., 2014.
Summary of the research
Bariatric surgery is also known as weight-loss surgery or gastric bypass. Schaueret al. (2014) carried out a three-group, controlled, single-center, randomized study that involved 150 patients who were obese and had Type 2 Diabetes. The effects of intensive medical therapy were compared with those of sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.Of the 150 patients who went through randomization from March 2007 to January 2011, only 137 remained since others withdrew and some were lost to follow-up. The results after follow-up analysis revealed that 3 years following randomization, bariatric surgery, in comparison to intensive medical therapy only, was associated with sustained and superior glycemic control and weight reduction (Schaueret al.,2014).The findings show that weight-loss surgery is significantly more effective in treating T2DM relative to a conventional treatment of medication and diet changes (Schaueret al., 2014).
Patients in the study were suffering from severe Type 2 diabetes, and the majority of them went into remission after they underwent one of 2 bariatric surgeries.In this research study, patients who lost the most weight and the patients who had been diagnosed with diabetes no more than 3 years prior to the surgery did best (Schaueret al., 2014).This implies that if a patient wants to attain a long-term remission, then nurses should advise the patient to intervene sooner instead of later (Davies et al., 2014).In ...
