In a first of its kind comparative study in Asia, a surgeon?s scalpel is all set to challenge a physician?s medication in a bid to tackle diabetes.
A random controlled study of patients, who are obese with a basal metabolic index (BMI) between 25 and 40, and are suffering from uncontrolled diabetes, is underway in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Conducted by Indian and American doctors, 44 of the 88 enrolled patients are slated to be put on complete medication to cure diabetes, whereas the other half are to undergo a gastric bypass procedure to monitor the efficacy of medicine versus surgery. Nineteen of the enrolled participants are from Mumbai and the others hail from Aurangabad, Silvassa and Pune.
