The Problem

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a disability in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) for fuel. This long-term (chronic) condition increases the circulation of sugar in the bloodstream. Eventually, elevated blood glucose levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous, and immune systems.

In type 2 diabetes, there are mainly two interrelated problems. Your pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar in your cells, and your cells don't respond properly to insulin and consume less sugar.

The Options

Glycemic Control

The prevalence of diabetes has increased worldwide mainly as a result of the obesity epidemic. The current treatment of type 2 diabetes is aimed at increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucose absorption from the small intestine or improving insulin sensitivity. Tight glycemic control can reduce some of the complications of diabetes; however, this goal is often unattainable partly because of poor patient compliance, inadequate health care delivery, and the high cost of therapy.

The solution is

Ileal interposition

In the past, other surgical procedures including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding and gastric bypass were used to treat diabetes. But today, other surgical procedures have been modified to achieve the maximum remission in diabetic patients. Now, the surgical techniques for treating type 2 diabetes include Ileal Interposition and Ileal Interposition in combination with Sleeve Gastrectomy. These procedures are not limited to remission of diabetes type 2, but other problems like hyperlipidemia, obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea may also be influenced.

Insulin resistance hormones take place in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), while insulin sensible hormones take place in the last part of the intestine (ileum). The general idea is to switch places.
