Diabetic Digest - Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Readers:
I've been sick for the last few days and that has thrown
my blood sugar for a loop.
It's never fun being sick, but it's even more unpleasant
when you have diabetes or other various health issues.
I just make sure to check my blood sugar more that I would
during a typical day and drink plenty of water so that I
stay hydrated.
By doing these two things it helps me to keep my diabetes
under control and it gets me on the road to recovery.
Stay healthy and enjoy today's issue.
Regards,
Steve

Weight-Loss Surgery May 'Remodel' Heart
by Jennifer Goodwin
USA Today
For severely obese people? gastric bypass surgery may not
only lead to weight loss but could help overly stressed
hearts return to more normal function and appearance?
according to a new study.
The hearts of obese people often show signs of structural
changes? such as excess heart muscle mass in the left
ventricle and enlargement of the right ventricular cavity.
Researchers? writing in the Feb. 8 issue of the Journal
of the American College of Cardiology? looked at more
than 400 severely obese people with an average age of 42
who had gastric bypass surgery. These individuals were
compared with a reference group of more than 300 severely
obese individuals who did not have the surgery. After two
years? patients' body?mass index fell from an average of
nearly 48 to about 32? with an average weight loss of
about 100 pounds. Patients who received the surgery also
had smaller waistlines? lower blood pressure? lower heart
rate? healthier cholesterol levels? and less insulin
resistance? a precursor to diabetes. Echocardiograms
showed that the patients' heart structures had been
"remodeled" by reductions in the left ventricular mass
and right ventricular cavity area? indicating that the
hearts were less stressed. The study will continue to
follow these patients to observe the weight?loss main-
tenance? ongoing heart health? and long?term heart
conditions.
