Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes and difficulty controlling blood sugar can be associated with excess weight.
Meet Dr. Digvijay Singh Bedi, Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon, during a specialist pre-assessment programme in Nairobi.

Obesity can be associated with a range of health and metabolic conditions. A specialist assessment can help determine an appropriate next step for an individual.
Type 2 diabetes and difficulty controlling blood sugar can be associated with excess weight.
High blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors may warrant broader health assessment.
Snoring, disrupted sleep and daytime fatigue can be signs that should be medically assessed.
Repeated attempts at diet and exercise without sustainable results may warrant specialist advice.
Weight-related metabolic concerns can have different causes and require individual clinical assessment.
Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon
Hope Obesity Centre identifies Dr. Bedi as its Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon and states that he heads the centre. Its current public pages contain differing surgery/experience figures; Medevac therefore does not publish a surgery count here.
