When blood sugar stays high despite metformin, insulin, and every other medication your doctor adds, metabolic surgery is worth discussing well before it feels like a last resort. It's approved for type 2 diabetes at a lower BMI than standard weight-loss surgery, from 30 kg/m² rather than the usual 35 to 40, because the benefit comes from more than weight loss alone: within two years, clinical trials report remission or major improvement in blood sugar control for around 90% of patients, though that effect fades over time, with roughly a quarter still in complete remission and another quarter in partial remission at five years.
In Turkey, the same sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass techniques used for weight loss are performed for this metabolic indication, and Turquie Santé coordinates the pre-operative diabetes workup, the surgery, and follow-up with your surgical team, so your blood sugar control is monitored throughout, not just the weight loss.
