Type 2 diabetes in newly diagnosed 'can be reversed'

Type 2 diabetes is fat person diabetes.

This approach is for idiots.

An extreme eight-week diet of 600 calories a day can reverse Type 2 diabetes in people newly diagnosed with the disease, says a Diabetologia study.

Newcastle University researchers found the low-calorie diet reduced fat levels in the pancreas and liver, which helped insulin production return to normal.

Seven out of 11 people studied were free of diabetes three months later, say findings published in the journal.

More research is needed to see whether the reversal is permanent, say experts.

It will not be.

The weight will return since the porkers were placed on an unsustainable starvation diet and learned nothing about proper caloric intake control.

Lose the weight properly and the diabetes will go away while proper caloric intake control skills will be acquired.
