I've been diabetic now for going on 2 years and not been able to put my diabetes into remission. I've exercised strenuously & that includes up to 2 hours of cycling every other day plus lifting weights on the non-cycling days.
I have a great deal of dedication to getting myself into remission, yet I've had a difficult time with Professor Taylor in some of his talks saying that it is simply overall weight loss that counts

"A crucial point is that individuals have different levels of tolerance of fat within liver and pancreas. Only when a person has more fat than they can cope with does type 2 diabetes develop. In other words, once a person crosses their personal fat threshold, type 2 diabetes develops. Once they successfully lose weight and go below their personal fat threshold, diabetes will disappear."
Here's some of Doctor Jason Fung's thoughts on surgery
https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/bariatrics-surgically-enforced-fasting-t2d-6/
where, he hypothesizes about bariatric surgery
"Interestingly, the T2D is often reversed within weeks and far, far before significant weight is lost. For example, a 500 pound man might lose 50 pounds in a few months. That’s great, but that still leaves him at 450 pounds. Despite this weight, T2D is often fully reversed. Why does it work? There are many theories. But it is pretty obvious how bariatric surgery really works its magic. Bariatrics is surgically enforced fasting."
How does this affect me? Well I 've a BMI now in the 24's range and yet I am still diabetic! I am relatively svelte at 200 lbs and I'm 6'4" my point is that why haven't I experienced full remission?
I am starting to draw my own conclusions that a combination of factors one of extreme ND + weight loss too. I don't now believe that its just weight loss on its its own, but for the best chances for diabetic remission come with weight loss, plus enforced fasting (Newcastle diet) for an optimal outcome.
I'd love for anyone with an opinion to chime in.. Please let me know your experiences?
Thanks
