[QUOTE="trotskyite, post: 397881, member: 67262"] Many here state reversal cannot occur as beta cells are destroyed to a certain level before diagnosis. They may be interested that one of the foremost authorities in diabetes Prof Gerald H Tomkin of the Diabetes Institute of Ireland disagrees and here with selected quotes is why: "Prof Gerald H Tomkins can now tell many of his patients that weight reduction and exercise may lead to the reversal of their diabetes through recovery of their beta cells. A recent study has shown a significant β-cell loss in large islets of type 2 diabetes with changes in the architecture. Thus, unlike type 1 diabetes, it is possible that changes are repairable long after the diabetes has started Reversing diabetes The final result that made me and many others sit up and take notice was the demonstration that the beta cell recovered not partially, but completely and even the first-phase insulin release returned to normal, so the patients really did reverse their diabetes. This article was of such interest that it made headlines in daily newspapers around the world. Alas, I am no longer able to reassure my obese patients with diabetes that their main problem is a defect in the beta cell. I am, however, able to assure the obese patient that in many cases, weight reduction and exercise will lead to reversal of their diabetes through recovery of their beta cells." http://www.imt.ie/clinical/2012/07/type-2-diabetes-%E2%80%94-is-it-a-disease-of-the-fat-cell.html Professor Tomkin is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He trained as physician in General Medicine, Diabetes and Endocrinology. His special research interests are in the field of lipidology (cholesterol and triglycerides), atherosclerosis and diabetes. He has written more than 100 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and has been invited to speak at many international meetings. He has been president of the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland, vice president of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and president of the Irish Endocrine Society and Irish Hyperlipidaemia associations. He is past Chairman, and now President of the Diabetes Federation of Ireland. He is Director of the Diabetes Institute of Ireland at Beacon. [/QUOTE]
