I thought I would share this film of a study around diet and what is most effective at managing/reversing diabetes conducted in Australia.

It appears that the extreme calorie restricted diet has the most encouraging results. Another film I saw recently suggested the same, where on a highly restricted diet individuals were seen to not only successfully lose weight (no shocker there) but interestingly lost a significant amount of weight through the clearing of fat from the liver (27% of the weight loss over the first few weeks was fat lost from the liver). That has to have a significant impact on blood glucose levels doesn't it?
Anyway - this all seems very encouraging, but I was interested to know how realistic it was and whether or not people had been successful.
Hey - if you fancy trying an 'impromptu' diet, why not try it to see for yourself? Anyone interested? the poll runs for eight weeks - enough to possibly 'cure' your diabetes. I found this link - but I'm sure others will be able to share better information.

Perhaps a volunteer interested in trying it out would set up another thread for all those wanting to join in or follow?
(Obviously it goes without saying that weight loss may not be appropriate for some individuals and in some cases reversing T2 diabetes may not be possible).
