This is good news for people with type 2 diabetes. A small study in England showed that the disease was curable, at least temporarily, through an extreme diet for two months.
Experts from Newcastle University of England made a breakthrough that reverses the assumption that diabetes is a lifelong disease and can not be cured. Although still small, the research gives great hope for diabetes can be restored, not through drug therapy, but with proper diabetes management.
Diabetes Research Foundation funded this UK involving 11 sufferers. Patients are required to restrict asup which is only 600 calories of food each day every day for two months. Only after a week, the results of blood tests showed levels of sugar, some people return to normal limits.
After two months, the levels of fat in the pancreas was back to normal and the organ is capable of pumping insulin without any problems. In fact, some patients no longer need to take tablets controlling blood sugar. In three months, seven of the 11 volunteers recovered from diabetes.
"This is a radical change in our understanding of type 2 diabetes. During this time believed that the disease could be getting worse, but we can prove it back," said lead researcher Professor Roy Taylor, who published these findings in the journal Diabetologia. Type 2 diabetes makes organ pancreas does not produce enough insulin, the hormone that process sugar into energy. In addition, the insulin produced is not working properly. This condition causes the patient must be on a strict diet and exercise regularly. The quality of the health of the patient also usually worsens and usually have to undergo therapy or taking insulin injections.
Dr Iain Frame of Diabetes UK told despite the positive results of this study, but people with diabetes should not undergo an extreme diet without first consulting your doctor.
