We now know that there seem to be 2 potential cures (not reversals) of T2DM. One is Professor Roy Taylor's hypocaloric diet which gets the fat out of pancreas and liver. Another predates Professor Taylor's regimen: it's the accidental discovery of those who underwent gastric bypass that had their T2DM cured.
I believe Professor Taylor tried to reconcile the 2 phenomena by saying the gastric bypass resulted in the pancreas fat being removed. But I don't believe most researchers believed that, at least not at the time: the reversal of T2DM was almost instantaneous and they felt that it was the gut hormones (such as incretins) that played role in restoring BG control.
What is the latest on these debates? Has anyone looked into the 2 phenomena and tried to reconcile them? Or are there 2 distinct means of reversing T2DM and acquiring BG control?
