[QUOTE="alienskin, post: 2148573, member: 508073"] I think an important point to add is that in the Direct Study: "Remission is closely linked to [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/whats-your-healthy-weight']weight loss[/URL], 64% of participants who lost more than 10 kilos were in remission at two years". In other words, if you stayed with the protocol successfully, then you had a much higher chance of success. Obviously, any approach is dependent on how easy or hard people find to stick with the protocol, but this is a good result. I haven't read the final results but if the early Counterpoint study is anything to go by the success of the Newcastle method is dependent on how long you've had diabetes for. It seems that a critical point is around the 4-year mark but varies. The method was far more successful for people recently diagnosed than those who'd had the condition for a number of years. It seems that for the latter the first phase insulin response (presumably due to beta-cell dysfunction) never recovers. If the Direct study success rate also included many who'd been diagnosed for a long time then that 64% would be higher for newly diagnosed patients who rigidly stuck to the protocol. Hopefully, an equally rigorous study will someday be done for other dietary approaches such as the one's promoted in this thread. [/QUOTE]
