Can an Eight Week Extreme Diet Cure Type 2 Diabetes?

Scientists in the UK, at Newcastle University, have found that Type 2 Diabetes can be cured by diet alone. In a small study, eleven people cut their food intake to just 600 calories( equivalent to two bowls of cereal) a day for 2 months. And, 90 days later, seven people  or 64% of the dieters , no longer had any symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes.

"To have people free of diabetes after years with the condition is remarkable – and all because of an eight-week diet," said Roy Taylor, professor at Newcastle University, who led the study. "This is a radical change in understanding Type 2 Diabetes. It will change how we can explain it to people newly diagnosed with the condition. While it has long been believed that someone with Type 2 Diabetes will always have the disease, and that it will steadily get worse, we have shown that we can reverse the condition."

Presented at an American Diabetes Association conference, the research demonstrated that an extremely low-calorie diet, consisting of diet drinks and non-starchy vegetables, prompts the body to remove the fat clogging the pancreas and preventing it from making insulin

However, many people are  questioning whether the normal blood-sugar levels in the study could be called a "cure.""We don't ever cure it.  We put it into remission, even with our bariatric patients," said Pam Turney, a registered nurse and director of the bariatric surgery program at Florida's Memorial Hospital. She added, "The treatment for years has been if you have between a 5 percent and 10 percent weight loss, you can greatly increase your insulin release and decrease your fasting glucose concentrations," she said.
