Let’s break the vicious cycle of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
What is the vicious cycle of type 2 diabetes?
- The consumption of high-glycemic index and high-fat diet leads to amplified digestion and nutrient absorption.
- The subsequent chronic exposure of tissues to high plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids causes:
- tissue resistance to the actions of insulin and at a later stage,
- reduction of insulin release, pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
How do we break this cycle?
Βlocking amplified digestion surgically.
We surgically block the amplified digestion observed in type 2 diabetes.
By cutting the vagus nerve:
The neurogenic signals—coming from the mouth, brain, stomach and intestine—of the biliopancreatic secretion are inhibited.
By by-passing food from the proximal intestine:
The endocrine stimulation of biliopancreatic secretion is inhibited.
