[QUOTE="Glitterbritches, post: 807688, member: 161845"] How familiar are you with the findings of the Newcastle study? To explain it all would take some time, it would be good to know what you know. But in short, this "8 weeks this" "12 weeks that" is specifically going on a Very Low Calorie Diet, which has been medically shown to reverse Type 2 diabetes. Specifically, it has been shown to restore beta cell function to the point where insulin production is normal, increase liver sensitivity to insulin even better than normal, and eliminate unhealthy levels of glucose dumping by the liver. 12 weeks after such a diet, the large majority of participants were able to pass an oral glucose tolerance test, and there are folks right here on the forums who saw restored carb metabolism (eat like a normal person and have good BG levels) after this type of VLCD. As you can also see, it's not a long term solution - it's a method of rapidly losing weight without becoming malnourished, "defatting" the pancreas and liver to restore metabolic function (proven through some seriously heavy MRI work on the study participants). Afterwards, it is still your job to maintain a healthy lifestyle (a minority of study participants failed that OGTT 12 weeks after ending the diet). [/QUOTE]
