[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 363231, member: 55568"] That's interesting. There were a number of papers a few years ago which pointed out the beneficial effects on diabetes in patients who unwent bariatric surgery. The sudden drop in food intake seemed to reverse the diabetes. That is what prompted Newcastle Uni to investigate what was going on. Their method was to severely restrict the calorie intake of volunteers. I don't think it is regarded as a full cure because by the time of diagnosis, most diabetics have lost about 50% of their beta cells and they don't get replaced. However, it does appear to stop the loss of the beta cell function and, what remains does appear to start functioning normally again. The interesting observation is that, whereas all the volunteers in the Newcastle study had been dignosed within 4 years, your example is of someone who had been diagnosed for 18 years. [/QUOTE]
