This wonderful study – the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) – throws light on the possibility of lessening the severity of symptoms of Type 2 diabetes by following a low-calorie diet supervised by one’s GP. “For people in the first six years of Type 2 diabetes, 90 per cent of those losing more than 15 kilos return to non-diabetic control, off all tablets and injections.
