Being a success at reversing Type 2 diabetes depends
greatly on the patient’s ability to remove excess body fat. Far too many
calories and the presence of insulin that is continuously pumped into the
bloodstream eventually will make you fat and insensitive to insulin. This is
called pre-diabetes and usually develops into type 2 diabetes. Eating a diet
low in fat yet high in nutrients is important for your body as it tries to heal
itself.
The following guest article is written by
Sarah Westcott of the Express, a media outlet in the United Kingdom. This
informative article mirrors the success that a low calorie diet can possibly
have on the reversing of type 2 diabetes. I t is very important to get body fat
under control as this is probably the first step in beating this disease. It is
a well written report that has the research to back up its claims. Good luck to
all who may give this method a try.

How a strict
diet of 800 calories a day can cure diabetes in weeks MILLIONS of people with Type 2 diabetes have been given
fresh hope after researchers discovered a short-term “crash diet” can reverse
the killer condition.

Overweight patients who were put on a diet of just 800 calories a day were
free of the disease within a few weeks of following the strict regime.
Experts last night hailed the results as “enormously exciting” and are now
working on a trial to test whether the reversal of this form of the disease
could be permanent.
Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people of working age and a
major cause of lower limb amputation, kidney failure and stroke.
In the UK, there are some three million people living with Type 1 and Type
2 diabetes, and around 850,000 more who have Type 2 diabetes but don’t know it
because they haven’t been diagnosed.
As many as seven million people are at high risk of developing Type 2
diabetes and if current trends continue, an estimated five million people will
have diabetes by 2025.
The diet, which was tested on 11 patients, is a key part of a new
£2.4million medical trial of almost 300 people with obesity-induced diabetes.
Professor Roy Taylor, of Newcastle University, who led the study, said: “We
demonstrated that by changing calorie intake we could change fat levels in the
liver and pancreas and return insulin production to normal.
“The new study is to see whether GPs can use this approach to reverse
diabetes in their patients and whether it will stay reversed. The evidence is
that it will, but we need a large-scale trial to prove that it works.”
Professor Taylor, and Professor Mike Lean, from Glasgow
University, will be jointly overseeing the new trial.
They used MRI scans to watch how crash dieting removes fat around the liver
and pancreas.
In healthy people, the liver should contain around two per cent of fat, but
in obese people, it can reach 40 per cent and suppress insulin production.
Professor Taylor said the results were “enormously exciting”.
He added: “The good news is that if you cut fat in the diet then the liver
fat falls very rapidly and that means the pancreas can start working again.”
The new study will see 280 patients with Type 2 diabetes monitored for
several years – with half of them on a crash diet for eight to 20 weeks.
Professor Lean said: “We’re confident that some people with Type 2 will be
able to achieve remission.
“But what we really want to know is how many can do it.
“If our analysis shows this approach is both effective and cost-effective,
our aim will be to produce a programme that can be implemented in the NHS as
soon as possible.”
Diabetes UK said that the approach was promising and said that, if the
results are positive, the impact on patients will be “huge”.

Many diabetes patients
are not going to do the research and find a way to improve their diabetic
situation. They will be happy with just taking their medications and eating all
the wrong foods against their doctor’s wishes. It takes self discipline and a
great will to live in order to beat any disease but after watching others
suffer a die without a fight makes me wonder if the general public has become
satisfied with just giving up on life like a bunch of ignorant livestock. Reverse type 2 diabetes with a diet high
in alkaline foods
