Has anyone else seen this?
All you have to do is restrict yourself to 600 cals per day for 2 months and your diabetes will be reversed
Yeah right

Right at the top of the page there, I saw "Daily Express" and sort of decided that was pretty much nonsense.

I'll wait to get the 600 calorie diet results from the Newcastle study, not the Express.
 
I have had good results on it so far, I can not claim to be cured or reversed but my BG has never been better and I have a whole slew of other health improvements as a side effect. Two more weeks of the eight weeks to go, but so far I am happy with the results and certainly not prepared to write it off until I have tried it.

No-one is writing off the Newcastle Diet - many of us are eagerly awaiting the results being published of a major study involving thousands of patients across the NE.

In my reply, I was noting the difference between scientific method and tabloid journalism - the Express being the people who perpetuated the MMR-Autism link long after it had been debunked (and then went on to make mercury claims), as one of many examples.

Not wishing to pour cold water on your hopes @SockFiddler but the current trial has I think just over 300 participants rather than the thousands you think..the initial sample size was destined to be 280 but I think they allowed some more in.

To be fair to a paper I do not read - it was based on a press statement from Newcastle University.

Yes - about 300 but still a significant sample size, depending on whether the results say 1% or 100% of course.

Sorry I should have quoted the OP, they finished their post with "yeah right" which seemed dismissive to me. I do not read any newspapers at all except what they publish to social media. In any event no offense was meant.
