Fat loss along with weight loss for Diabetes reversal

Type 2 Diabetes was, for a long time, considered to be incurable and could only be managed. New research studies like DiRECT Trial have established that weight loss of 10-15 per cent with a low-calorie diet and exercises could improve insulin secretion and thus. lead to Diabetes remission or reversal.

A team of researchers at Newcastle University tried to understand the dynamics of Type 2 Diabetes reversal in people who fall within the moderate body mass index. This preliminary study tried to observe the effect of weight loss on their Diabetes reversal. The study was conducted on 12 participants with an average team of researchers at Newcastle University tried to understand the dynamics of Type 2 Diabetes reversal in people who fall within the moderate body mass index. This preliminary study tried to observe the effect of weight loss on their Diabetes reversal. The study was conducted on 12 participants with an average body mass index of 24.5 Kg/m2 and was provided with very low-calorie meals for 2 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the participants experienced a weight loss of 10-15 per cent and had a significant reduction in fat in the liver and pancreas and lipid levels. The study showed that canying too much fat in these organs causes impairment of insulin function and leads to Diabetes.
