This is good news for people struggling to cope with Type 2 diabetes. In a study conducted in Netherlands, importance of low-calorie diet and its impact on diabetes has been revealed. This study can prove a revolution in the treatment of this disease.

In the study, 15 people were included and they asked to follow a particular dietary pattern for 4 months. It was observed that low calorie diet really did wonders around after 4 months. They no longer require life-saving insulin and dangerous deposition around their hearts were significantly reduced.

According to Hammer, the author of study, “It is striking to see how a relatively simple intervention of a very low-calorie diet effectively cures Type 2 diabetes. Moreover, the effects are long term, illustrating the potential of this method. Lifestyle interventions may have more powerful beneficial cardiac effects than medication in these patients.”

Even after patients resorted to their normal diet after some time, certain benefits of following low calorie diet still persisted. But researchers say that some more studies are required to clearly establish the connection.
