[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 670248, member: 12578"] It's my impression that 'they' have said long time that weight loss is an effective way of reducing the progression of diabetes but it's been very vague. It's just that Prof Taylor has been able to quantify it , show the mechanisms by which it may work and demonstrate that in some people a very rapid weight loss can, at least for a time, set diabetes progression into reverse. If someone was told emphatically that weight loss on this sort of scale /time frame could potentially reverse a very serious condition* and were given a means to achieve it then it might well have a different outcome to a doctor just suggesting that losing a few pounds may help. (though we have to wait for the trials to really know how effective it is in a bigger population and how durable the changes are) *though I suspect many don't realise the potential consequences of diabetes. In a US diabetes prevention trial they found that those who lost 10% of their weight in the six months after a prediabetes diagnosis were far less likely to develop diabetes in the next three years than those that didn't [url]http://www.futurity.org/speedy-weight-loss-may-put-brakes-on-diabetes/[/url] [/QUOTE]
