Obese patients with type 2 diabetes who consumed a severely restricted diet of just 500 calories a day for 4 months showed a reduction in pericardial fat and improved the function of their heart, researchers said here at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting.

They were all also able to discontinue insulin injections, lead author Sebastiaan Hammer, MD, PhD, from Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands, told Medscape Medical News.
Whoda thunk it?
