DIABETES & WEIGHT LOSS The Dual Challenge – Controlling Your Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity People living with type 2 diabetes and excess weight are in a constant struggle to manage their health and well being. Type 2 diabetes tends to get worse over time and can lead to serious health complications. Combined with excess weight, the problem becomes a challenge that significantly impacts their overall lives. If you are trying to control your blood sugar levels and lose weight at the same time, you know how difficult this can be. Daily diabetes medications can work well initially, but often become less effective over time and can lead to significant weight gain. As the disease progresses, many people need increasing amounts and combinations of medications that can have side effects. Ultimately, this leads to daily insulin injections and concerns about hypoglycemia. Another option some people consider is bariatric surgery. As with any surgical procedure, there are serious safety risks and side effects to consider. Additionally, bariatric surgery involves a hospital stay, irreversible changes to your stomach and weeks of recovery time. This latest medical breakthrough is helping patients who have been unable to achieve their blood sugar and weight loss goals. With EndoBarrier Therapy, our patients are regaining control of their health and improving their overall quality of life.
