Summary: Gastric banding is one of the most important measures in type II diabetes mellitus prevention and
treatment. It decreases risk of diabetes development 32 times within 2 years and 5 times 8 years
after the procedure. In diabetes treatment the gastric banding is the most effective measurement
in morbidly obese diabetics. According to one study 82.9 % of diabetics and 98.7 % of patients with
impaired glucose tolerance had 14 years after gastric banding normal levels of blood sugar and
glycosylated hemoglobin. Our experience also shows an important effect of gastric banding on
diabetes although weight loss is lower compared to nondiabetics. This important treatment option
is still passed by our diabetologists. Gastric banding is not indicated for type I diabetes.
