If you are living with type 2 diabetes and weight-related health concerns, it can help to know that there may be more than one path to better health. Today, medical care offers a wider range of options for managing diabetes, and in some cases, even helping it go into remission, meaning blood sugar returns to a healthy range for a period of time without diabetes medication.

For some people, treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery. Two types of metabolic surgery often discussed are Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). RYGB is a type of gastric bypass surgery, while SG reduces the size of the stomach. Research suggests that for certain individuals with a BMI below 35 kg/m², a height-and-weight measure doctors use to assess health risk, these two procedures may offer similar benefits in helping diabetes improve or go into remission.

This is why a personalized approach matters. The best plan depends on your blood sugar levels, weight, medical history, and individual needs.

1. Understand Your Health Profile:

The first step is getting a clear picture of your health. This includes looking at your blood sugar levels, weight, medical history, and other factors that may affect your treatment options.

2. Learn About Your Options:

Diabetes care is not one-size-fits-all. For some people, lifestyle changes may be the main focus. For others, medication or surgery may also be part of the plan. Knowing what these terms mean can help you have more informed discussions with your healthcare provider.

A better understanding of your health can help you make more confident decisions about your next steps. When you are ready to explore a more personalized approach to diabetes management, Curatio Wellnness can support you in finding a path that suits your needs.
