The study was run by Prof Roy Taylor of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging department at Newcastle University, The aim was to find a diet that would remove internal fat from around the visceral organs to see if this would help control or even the reverse Type 2 diabetes. The diet certainly works for weight loss and improving blood glucose levels, but doesn't "cure" diabetes. It seems likely that if the successful Type 2 on this diet doesn't watch his/her food intake, and lets the weight go back on, the BGs will rise again. But it certainly works in its stated objectives. Search "Newcastle Diet" on this site for people's experiences/diaries, and how to do it. Prof Taylor appears on the current BBC series "The Hairy Dieters". He believes that "slimming" diets first remove the visceral fat, and has confirmed it using MRI scans, which is why weight loss is good for diabetes. Simplistically, internal fat interferes with the working of the pancreas.Hope this helps!  :wink: Viv  8)</blockquote>
