The 23% of people who continued to be in diabetes remission at the five year mark received extra help to keep their weight low. Otherwise, only 3.4% of the original group had maintained remission.

Some years ago I did Atkins and exercised like crazy...for about 10 months.I lost almost 40 pounds and was then taken off my diabetes meds and all but one of my blood pressure meds.

I’ve lost 75 pounds, I no longer use insulin before meals, and the amount of long acting insulin I need keeps dropping. Oh yeah, my A1C is 5.4.

This article doesn’t tell the whole truth. An intensive diet and exercise program resulting in weight loss does not reduce cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in people with longstanding type 2 diabetes, according to a study supported by the National Institutes of Health. The real problem with diabetes is not the illness itself, but the problems related to the disease. People don’t die from diabetes.

The Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study tested whether a lifestyle intervention resulting in weight loss would reduce rates of heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular-related deaths in overweight and obese people with type 2 diabetes, a group at increased risk for these events.

Researchers at 16 centers across the United States worked with 5,145 people, with half randomly assigned to receive an intensive lifestyle intervention and the other half to a general program of diabetes support and education. Both groups received routine medical care from their own health care providers.

“Look AHEAD found that people who are obese and have type 2 diabetes can lose weight and maintain their weight loss with a lifestyle intervention,” said Dr. Rena Wing, chair of the Look AHEAD study and professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University. “Although the study found weight loss had many positive health benefits for people with type 2 diabetes, the weight loss did not reduce the number of cardiovascular events.”

Because this risk is so high, cardiovascular disease remains the most common cause of death in people with diabetes.

>> Weight loss puts type 2 diabetes into remission for five years, finds research

backasswards statement

The weight loss is a side effect of the improved dietary behavior.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

In Remission for five years. FACT: Type 2 Diabetes is forever, like arthritis. THERE IS NO CURE. Not diet, not weight loss, not anything. Don't let the quacks fool you about this. (Dons Nomex fire suit).
