How does Bariatric surgery help in resolving diabetes ?

Bariatric surgery helps in diabetes resolution by -

1. Weight loss which decreases the insulin demand in the body
2. Decreased fat mass helps to increase insulin sensitivity
3. Increased BMR which increases glucose utilisation and thus reduces blood glucose levels
4. Increased production of insulin in the body through the action of gut hormones (incretins)

All these combines to decrease the blood sugar levels and help in long term remission of diabetes.For this reason, bariatric surgery is also known as metabolic surgery.
