The treatment that reversed type 2 diabetes

For the millions of patients who continue to go to their doctor for routine type 2 diabetes medications and care, this information is an eye-opener…

A new study published in The Lancet reveals that 86 percent of patients were able to eliminate all medications and remain diabetes-free just by doing one thing…

Losing weight.

Diabetes: Manage or reverse?

In mainstream medicine, the entire focus of type 2 diabetes is disease management through medication.

Yes, there is sometimes mention of a “healthy diet and exercise,” but that’s about it… it seldom goes much further than a brief discussion.

There are no education courses, coaching, or even detailed instructions provided for weight loss in the doctor’s office. The focus is clearly on which medication to take, how much to take… and when.

That all needs to change… because the study in the Lancet reveals that, most diabetics, technically, can reverse diabetes — without medications.

In fact, in this study, the diabetic patients who took standard diabetes prescription medications fared worse (as far as diabetes control and quality of life) compared to those who safely got off their medications because they lost weight.

The study included 306 participants in Scotland and England. It was conducted from July 2014 to Aug 2017.

The study details

The study aimed to assess whether intensive weight reduction in primary care settings would achieve remission (not just control) of type 2 diabetes.

Study participants were aged 20-65 years who had type 2 diabetes diagnosed within the previous 6 years, were overweight or obese with a body-mass index (BMI) of 27-45 kg/m², and not taking insulin.

Those in the control group were given mainstream medicines to control diabetes. Those in the intervention group:

• Had to withdraw from their antidiabetic prescription medications
• Followed a strict low-calorie diet that only allowed 825-853 calories/day for 3 to 5 months
• Underwent a stepped food reintroduction for 2-8 weeks
• Had coaching and education for long-term weight loss maintenance, which included physical activity

The results were quite amazing. Reversal of diabetes correlated perfectly with the amount of weight that participants lost: none of the 76 participants who gained weight achieved reversal of diabetes… while 86 percent of the 36 participants who lost 33 pounds or more completely reversed diabetes (defined as HbA_1c below 6.5 percent after at least 2 months off all anti-diabetic medications).

Overall in this study, at 12 months, nearly half of the intervention group successfully achieved remission to a non-diabetic state and got completely off antidiabetic drugs.

The researchers point out that, “Substantial weight loss results in reduced fat inside the liver and pancreas, allowing these organs to return to normal function,” and that “losing weight isn’t just linked to better management of type 2 diabetes: significant weight loss could actually result in lasting remission.”

There’s more. Those who were in the intervention group achieved another, even bigger benefit: markedly improved quality of life compared to those in the control group. They measured quality of life using the EuroQol 5 Dimensions visual analog scale. From these measurements, those in the intervention group improved by 7. 2 points… while those in the control group worsened by 2.9 points (p=0.0012) on average. I’ll bet that the improvement in quality of life in those who lost more than 33 pounds was many times greater than the intervention group as a whole.
