rasbridge Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The medical establishment is finally accepting it: Diabetes CAN be reversed, according to “groundbreaking study” Monday, January 15, 2018 Source: http://remedies.news/2018-01-15-diabetes-can-be-reversed-according-to-groundbreaking-study.html There is plenty that the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to know, and one of those inconvenient truths just got a huge credibility boost and renewed attention as a new study shows that it is possible to reverse type 2 diabetes through weight management alone. A groundbreaking study that was published in The Lancet shows just how effective weight management can be when it comes to treating this disease. In the open-label and cluster-randomized study, nearly 300 patients who had received a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes within the past six years were studied. The participants were anywhere from age 20 to 65, and they had starting body mass index values in the range of 27 to 45 kg/m2. After being randomized into one of two groups, the participants either went through the Counterweight Plus program to lose weight or received best practice care as a part of a control group. Those in the Counterweight Plus program were given a diet that was very low in calories – for anywhere from three to five months, they ate around 850 calories a day. This was followed by a food reintroduction program that ran from two to eight weeks. The people in this group stopped taking antidiabetic medications as well as those that lower blood pressure at the start of the trial. Within a year, half of the participants could no longer be considered diabetic and no longer needed their medication. Roughly one fourth of the participants had lost 15 kilograms or more of weight, and around half maintained weight loss of more than 10 kilos. Eighty-six percent of those who lost 15 kilos achieved remission, while 73 percent of those who lost at least 10 kilos also managed to reverse their diabetes. Best of all, the effective weight management program did not require any type of specialist treatment; routine primary care staff were able to guide patients through it. The University of Newcastle’s Professor Roy Taylor, the co-lead researcher of the study, called it a “watershed moment” for understanding and managing type 2 diabetes. It’s remarkable when you consider the fact that even those who had been living with the disease for as long as six years were able to reverse it simply by cutting their caloric intake. Such an approach could also bring about tremendous health care savings, with the power to save an estimated £14 billion in the U.K. alone thanks to a reduced need for blood pressure medication, amputations, and treatments for diabetes-related blindness and kidney failure. Diabetes and prediabetes are estimated to cost $322 billion in the U.S., according to figures from the American Diabetes Association, and it affects one out of every 11 Americans. The researchers decided to take the calorie-cutting approach to weight loss instead of increasing the participants’ exercise because they felt it would be more effective. Physical activity, while very important in the long run, can cause patients to eat more – both consciously and unconsciously – to compensate in the beginning, making it more difficult for them to achieve sustainable weight loss. However, the researchers say that exercise could be useful for avoiding regaining the weight. Good news for diabetics, bad news for Big Pharma and the junk food industry Of course, Big Pharma won’t be too thrilled that more people are learning that they might not need their dangerous diabetes drugs and insulin after all. It’s also bad news for the junk food industry, as the researchers were quick to point out. According to the study’s conclusion, the true long-tern solution to the obesity and diabetes epidemics facing our world is eating less, not drugs. Taylor wrote: “The major barrier is political will in opposing the wishes of the food industry. To make an impact upon the enormous pressure on people to eat and to eat frequently will be difficult but must be tackled to deal with the underlying problem.” Sources include: NutraIngredients.com Diabetes.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondyz99 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wow, that is ground breaking. Each time I've seen so called Diabetes Professionals they all said cant be reversed but could be controlled. Just goes to show. I've got type 2 on tablets, Diaformin XR 1000mg, Gliclazide 60mg as well as Jardiance 10mg, I'm the only one in the family that has it, too many sugary drinks and probably junk food to boot. Must admit I was a lot fitter until I was forced to leave work through injury. I'm 84kg and have lost bit of muscle / muscle tone since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeSmithG Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 To answer your question, my pills are free. I have a card and I have no charge at the pharmacy. United Kingdom. My partner is very disabled her pills tramadol, co-codomol and one for night sleep amitriptyline would cost three times £8.60 per order, however I pay £10.40 per month and we save a lot. She can have any prescription and it's no more than £10.40 per month. I can have any and mine is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
