A “breakthrough” treatment plan for type-2 diabetes has been reported in the British press suggesting that the UK National Health Service (NHS) is keen to adopt a new standard of treatment.
The course of treatment consists of a liquid diet of 800 calories to be taken as a soup or shake daily for a period of time depending on how long since the patient developed type-2 diabetes.
Research was conducted at Newcastle University where they believe they have proven that type-2 diabetes is reversible, especially in newer patients. They have called it the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial, (DiRECT) and in recently published findings have shown the massive potential of DiRECT as a general treatment plan.
The treatment is a prescription for a reduction in calorie intake—a potential intervention that is claimed to have shown incredible results for many different conditions.
