Shocked?
Well apparently the cure to Diabetes Mellitus or Type 2 Diabetes has been in front of our eyes all along.
Type 2 diabetes, is a condition where the body fails to regulate the sugar levels in the blood causes too much or too little insulin to be produced by the pancreas. It usually turns into a life long disease requiring diet control and insulin therapy.
According to new research, conducted at McMaster university in Canada, there may be hope for type 2 suffers through an intensive program that involves closely monitoring of diet+exercises+insulin+oral medicines. It basically involves giving rest to your pancreas after which your pancreases returns to normal (according to 40% of the results of study) and you are cured of diabetes or your diabetes is reversed, atleast temporarily.
Here are some of the numbers as shared by McMaster University Research Program:
41% of the participants saw their diabetes reverse in just four months after the intensive program.
The trial involved creating a personalized exercise regime for each participant and reducing their calories by between 500 and 750 a day. Participants also met regularly with a nurse and dietitian to track progress and continued to take medication and insulin to manage their blood sugar levels.
If this research and program proves to be successful, it would mean a paradigm shift in treatment of diabetes from that of glucose monitoring and insulin administration to that of reversing or healing the condition entirely and then monitoring for a relapse.
