The Future Looks Brighter 鈥 and Longer 鈥 Thanks to Bariatric Surgery
Diana Walton
Bariatric surgery 鈥渙nly option鈥 to manage diabetes
I had uncontrollable diabetes and weighed 205 pounds. My blood sugar was 500 to 600 every single day and I was using 60 to 80 units of insulin per day. Most of my family had died from diabetes and, before the surgery, maybe I had 10 years left in me. Getting this surgery was my only option.
Today, I am 137 pounds and my diabetes is much more manageable and under control. It鈥檚 not gone yet but I鈥檓 only using 5 units before meals and the highest my sugar has ever been is 200. I should be off insulin soon and onto oral medications.
