Losing weight to beat diabetes?
Newcastle University’s method of beating diabetes, which I mentioned earlier in this article , has been the subject of a study, and doctors recently presented it at the World Diabetes Congress in Vancouver. What method is it about? Simple, albeit drastic. According to doctors at the University of Newcastle, type 2 diabetes could be defeated thanks to a weight loss diet, since the cause, according to Dr.  Roy Taylor , professor of diabetes and expert in metabolic diseases, would be attributed to an accumulation of fat. visceral damage to the pancreas and liver. Fat that would overload the organs, compromising their functionality.
The Newcastle team would try to prove it in this study , in which a group of 18 diabetic and obese people underwent first bariatric surgery and then a restrictive diet, thus managing to lose about 0.6 grams of pancreatic fat. . Which would then resume producing insulin normally. And the diabetes would go away.
But even the thin ones would not be exempt from the risk of visceral fat: even the journalist  Richard Doughty , following the protocol of Dr. Taylor, would have managed to defeat diabetes in 11 days of a strictly low-calorie diet, of 800 calories.
In short, people with diabetes should consider a serious weight loss, which, according to the doctor, would improve pancreatic functions and prevent the evolution of the disease.
