Whilst these operations carry significant immediate and long-term risks, the reality is that so too does morbid obesity complicated by T2DM.

Keidar (1) has calculated that if 1 000 000 North Americans with morbid obesity and T2DM underwent surgery over a 5-year period, there would be 5000 deaths related to the surgery.

The first hint that insulin controls aging came when it was discovered that the worm C. elegans could live twice as long when it had a mutation in its equivalent of the insulin receptor. Life-span regulation by insulin-like metabolic control is analogous to mammalian longevity enhancement induced by caloric restriction, suggesting a general link between metabolism, diapause, and longevity.

In humans, insulin levels rise with age, and aging is a risk factor for diabetes. Calorie restriction Metformin. Think skinny people don't get type 2 diabetes? Think again.

The condition is caused when blood sugar and blood pressure in the tiny blood vessels in the eye “spring a leak” and release blood into the eye. This leads to blurry vision, seeing floaters or even complete vision loss in severe cases. The tricky thing about diabetic retinopathy is that not everyone has symptoms right away. Many people may have some damage from this condition without realizing the cause, and still others may attribute the vision problem to something else, such as getting older.
