This is a link to a lecture by Prof. Roy Taylor. Some years ago I watched a video which was pretty depressing, basically Roy was saying type two diabetes was always progressive, full stop. Now as you will see he says it is reversible. This is by way of a severe calorie restriction, known as the Newcastle diet. Roy says it is all down to calories, what is not addressed is what happens when a person goes back to the sort of calorie intake that lead to the excess weight that contributed to their diabetes. This is an important factor because many will go back to the calorie intake before the reversal of their diabetes.
As many of our long term low carb high fat friends know, you can reverse diabetes without low calorie diets. As he makes very clear in the presentation, exercise is useless for weight loss. It appears we have a choice, starvation for 8 weeks and then I don't know, (if I missed something please let me know), or low carb high fat. You can of course go the big pharma route, and fail to reverse your type diabetes.
One thing is great to hear, one the UK's leading diabetes experts says "diabetes is reversible" but of course us low carbers knew that years ago. Six years into diabetes I am still running non diabetic blood glucose numbers, no big deal, because so are the many other type two diabetics I know or know of, all low carbers as you would expect. And how many are on a strict calorie or low calorie regime, none.
Onwards and downwards as Geri would say, BG numbers that is.
