Roy Taylor writes in MedScape Today about his work. It is over 9 pages online under the following headings:
Introduction
Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes by Bariatric Surgery
Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes by Diet Alone
New Perspectives on Insulin Resistance
New Perspectives on the β-cell Defect
The Time Course to Development of Type 2 Diabetes
The Twin Cycle Hypothesis of Etiology of Type 2 Diabetes
Implication for Management of Type 2 Diabetes
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/781719
In particular, Section 8, Implication for Management of Type 2 Diabetes warns:
"A clear distinction must be made between weight loss that improves glucose control but leaves blood glucose levels abnormal and weight loss of sufficient degree to normalize pancreatic function."
This situation will presage the all-too-familiar deterioration of control. You've got to break through the 'sound barrier' so to speak, for more permanent results. The rest of that section discusses average weight loss requirements with one obeservation which I found interesting:
"It must be noted that involuntary food shortage, such as a result of war, results in a sharp fall in type 2 diabetes prevalence"
