Obesity is a major driver of type 2 diabetes with research finding people with a high body mass index (BMI) are up to 80 times more likely to develop the condition than those with a BMI of less than 22.
In the latest study, a quarter of people in remission from diabetes two years after starting a low-calorie diet were still in remission three years later.

Well, obviously
Now let’s start educating people properly on how weight loss works.
Worked as a PT/nutritionist for a few years. The vast majority of people don’t understand calories in vs calories out. And I’m not kidding when I say the vast majority. And I’ll go even further to say a big portion don’t just not understand it, they believe some fairy tale views on weight loss that hold no grounds in reality. Like being fat is just a magical outcome they have no control over.
Start early in schools so you don’t have to deal with it in adults
No surprise that someone commented saying calories don’t matter. It’s a serious issue. People don’t understand how the body works and we’re all fat as fuck because of it
One of the guys I support in work has type 2, it’s a nightmare trying to get him to exercise or eat healthier because of his lack of capacity
I really worry it’s getting worse and cut his life short but there isn’t much I can do, we advise him as much as we can
Yeah, that’s been bloody obvious for years, fat gits get diabetes, end of. I watched a BBC documentary about average built persons with diabetes and they ate a careful (not a brutal diet) diet and it rid them of diabetes but had to be careful going forward.
This has been known for quite some time, see the Newcastle study. It seemed to find diabetes is not always caused by a fucked up metabolism, but a fatty pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin and a fatty pancreas is essentially clogged up. In these cases the diabetic person isn’t so much insulin resistant, they’re simply not able to produce a normal amount of it. Losing weight gets rid of the fat from the pancreas and insulin can be released normally again.
They should put ore diabetics on metfirmin too it alters gut bacteria promoting healthy bacteria and lowers insulin response.
Insulin promotes weight gain a vicious cycle.
Putting ore diabetics on it will solve a lot of health problems in the future too as studies showed diabetics who take it live 15 percent longer than healthy people and have half the rates of cancers.
It is cheap too it’ll safe the NHS a fortune in the future if they alter their prescribing protocols now.
A high sugar western diet will see an explosion in diabetes and not just in the obese but also an explosion in metabolic type diseases in people who are at a healthy weight such as hypertension and high cholesterol if they don’t get diabetes.

What about ice-cream?

Being overweight not good for you, who could have guessed
We’re unfortunately a bit too far down the rabbit hole though where weight loss is taboo and body positivity has become almost a religion
