29 November 2011

Type 2 diabetes could be reversed in just four months by simply following a low-calorie diet, a study has revealed.

According to the research, people who reduced their calorific intake in their daily diet experienced a far greater improvement in the condition - and their health in general - than any medication offered.

The Diabetes UK charity warned that the NHS is now spending almost a a tenth of its budget - £9billion - every year treating patients.

Some 90 per cent of sufferers have type 2 diabetes, the form which can be caused by being overweight or obese.

Scientists believe excess fat upsets the working of insulin – a key hormone which delivers Sugar to cells – and this can lead to type 2 diabetes.
