[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1691798, member: 429870"] To me your current goal makes total sense, much more so than your previous one. It appears to me from my reading that the word "remission" is used by the Newcastle team rather than "reversal" (which is used, I think in ignorance, by many journalists). It seems clear that remission has to be maintained by continuing careful eating plus adding in exercise. That is not what most people would understand by "reversal". However, that is a lot more encouraging than the belief that diabetes is progressive and there is nothing you can do about it, which seems to be held by many health professionals. “Our findings suggest that even if you have had type 2 diabetes for six years, putting the disease into remission is feasible”, says Prof Michael Lean from the University of Glasgow who co-led the study. “In contrast to other approaches, we focus on the need for long-term maintenance of weight loss through diet and exercise".
