Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a chronic health condition caused by several genetic and/or environmental factors. T2DM does not have an immediate cure; this requires strategies to manage symptoms and slowly start remission. This review paper dives into treatment options for T2DM such as lifestyle intervention, prescription medication, and bariatric surgery. The focus will be on exploring their effectiveness in patients with T2DM as well as examining any potential side effects. This paper highlights the importance of treatment plans that take into account the nature of T2DM. After exploring three options, our results suggest that the different options correspond to different stages of the disease: lifestyle intervention is best for the early stages, medication is best for the middle stage, and bariatric surgery is one of the last options given by physicians.
