You are at risk for Type 2 Diabetes if you:
-
Are overweight
-
Are older than 45
-
Have a family history of Diabetes
Did You Know?
- Someone who is 40% overweight is twice as likely to die prematurely as an average-weight person.
- Obesity is the #1 cause of Diabetes, so a post-weight-loss surgery recipe for Diabetes can be helpful.
- Overweight people are 2 to 4 times as likely to have a heart attack or stroke because of high blood pressure, than people who are not overweight.
Based on current medical literature, a Diabetic diet doesn't cure Diabetes. In fact, weight-loss surgery is the ONLY cure for Diabetes.
Fortunately, LAPSF's physicians staff and on-site dietician are experts in explaining the health risk of Diabetes, recommending a non-invasive weight-loss bariatric bypass surgery procedure, and discussing the benefits of a healthy recipe for diabetes patients.
- Blindness
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Gallstones and gall bladder disease
- Pregnancy complications
- Nervous system damage
A post-surgery Diabetes diet plan can be extremely helpful because morbid obesity can cause numerous and serious health problems.
Diabetes can be cured in 80% of patients and improved in 90% of patients. After surgery and following a Diabetes diet plan, most patients are off all of their Diabetes medications or use significantly reduced medication in the first three months after surgery. Blood sugar glucose levels and Hemoglobin A1c levels usually return to normal or near normal.
