Diabetes and its complications: Therapies Available, Anticipated and Aspired

: Diabetes Mellitus is characterized as a set of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycemia in common, caused by defects in the action and / or in the secretion of insulin. It is a noncommunicable disease, considered one of the main public health problems and of widespread growth in the world, a difficult condition to treat and expensive to manage. Metabolic surgery is a safe treatment, regulated by the Federal Council of Medicine and indicated for the treatment of people with a Body Mass Index above 30, who are not successful in controlling pathologies associated with obesity, especially type 2 diabetes. The general objective of this study is to understand through a literature review the main impacts of metabolic surgery on the remission of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The present study is an exploratory and descriptive study carried out through a literature review. Data were collected through searches in virtual health databases, at the Virtual Health Library - VHL, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information System, LILACS, National Library of Medicine - MEDLINE, Scielo, database USP, PUBMED theses and books. Metabolic surgery proves to be an effective treatment to achieve not only sustained weight loss, but also a significant metabolic improvement that goes beyond mere weight loss. Metabolic surgery provides a more effective way to achieve long-term weight loss in obese individuals, increasing overall survival in this group of patients. Obese DM2 patients have a good chance of achieving long-term remission of DM2 after bariatric / metabolic surgery. Therefore, it concludes that such procedure is effective in the treatment of the disease and other diseases associated with obesity.
