Ready to Say Goodbye to Your Type 2 Diabetes?

A type 2 diabetes diagnosis can be as frustrating as it is scary. Many people worry about how it will affect their daily quality of life, while others think about long-term complications, like kidney disease, heart disease, and nerve damage.

For years, managing diabetes through lifestyle changes and medication was the best that patients could hope for. But luckily, that’s all changed with the advancement of adjustable gastric banding, which is what Slimband does.

Slimband: A Proven, Effective Therapy

In 2008, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study called “Adjustable Gastric Banding and Conventional Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes.” The study concluded that adjustable gastric banding provides patients with a better chance of attainting dramatic weight loss than they would otherwise be able to attain through dieting and exercise alone. It’s this dramatic weight loss that “appears to be the major driver of glycemic improvement and diabetes remission in obese participants.”

At Slimband, we’ve seen these results firsthand. Many of our diabetic patients have watched their type 2 diabetes go into remission. Considering over two million Canadians have diabetes—and of those people, 90 percent have type 2 diabetes—this is certainly good news.
