Radical soup and shake diet reverses type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years, caution urged by doctors.
New results from a three-year extension of the DiRECT study reveal that nearly a quarter of participants who were in remission from type 2 diabetes at two years in the original trial remained in remission at five years. The study showed that weight loss, and remission from type 2 diabetes, can prevent or delay the complications of diabetes. Losing weight can improve blood sugar levels too, even if they don’t go below the diabetes range, by helping the body to better respond to the insulin it’s making.
