More than two-thirds of patients who have passed through this operation were ready completely stop taking insulin and other diabetes medications within six months after surgery.

In the study, researchers from Johns Hopkinska watched the 2200 US adults. All of them suffered from Type II diabetes   and had problems with being overweight. Two years after bariatric surgery 85% of patients stopped taking medications for diabetes, as they have substantially improved the level of glucose in the blood.

Although bariatric surgery   is a treat, as they say, is not the cheapest, patients still ultimately win. Because the cost of the cost of medicines for diabetes in the average American is from $ 6000 per year.

"We came into the world a new epidemic is to replace smoking, - said study author Dr. Martin Macari - It obesity. Complication number one for all obese people is Type II diabetes . And now at the disposal of doctors proved effective surgical tool that can be used at once to get rid of both problems. "
