Low Calorie Diet could Cure Type 2 Diabetes

The video discusses a study at Newcastle University where a patient reversed Type 2 diabetes through a simple diet. The condition, linked to diet, affects millions in the UK and costs the NHS significantly. Researchers found that a severe eight-week diet could reverse diabetes by reducing fat in the pancreas. The study suggests diabetes is not permanent and can be reversed early on. However, it's unclear if the method works for long-term patients. The research continues, and those interested in the diet should consult their GP.
