[QUOTE="CMichael, post: 199320, member: 30859"] To answer Marzeater, a few of the participants were on medication before the trial but were taken off it a week before. People using insulin or thiazolidinediones were excluded. I think it is interesting that the focus of the Newcastle study was very much on measuring the effects of a sudden calorie deficit on the metabolism and that the idea for the study came from observing the results of weight loss surgery. As the researchers say, their study has many limitations, not least the small number of participants, which was necessary to allow the 'gold standard' of evaluation of the dietary effects. So perhaps it will provide clues as to why weight loss is so beneficial in type 2 diabetes as well as pointing to potential for treatment options. Phoenix gives a very detailed explanation of the trial. The low-calorie meal replacement was Optifast from Nestlé, but the key is that this was very carefully supervised. As others have said it's not a regime that would be easy to stick to at all! I've written a bit more about the trial on my website if anyone is interested... [/QUOTE]
