REVERSING DIABETES: Fact or Fiction?
Well the short answer is, for many people, type 2 diabetes can be reversed.
According to the University of Leicester in England, remission of type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when a person with confirmed type 2 diabetes has achieved all three of the following criteria: 1. Weight loss
2. Fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c below the WHO diagnostic threshold (<7mmol/l or <48mmol/mol, respectively) on two occasions separated for at least 6 months
3. The attainment of these glycemic parameters following the
complete cessation of all glucose-lowering therapies
Carrying excess weight can change the way your body reacts to Insulin. The university maintains for remission to occur, weight loss of between 10% and 15% of your starting weight is needed. People who have had diabetes for longer may struggle to reach remission. However, don’t be deterred as weight loss of only 5% or 10% of your total body weight has many benefits including:
• Better controlling blood glucose levels
• Lowering blood pressure levels
• Lowering cholesterol levels
• Increasing energy levels Losing weight and sustaining the weight loss may require you to change your diet. Getting into the habit of eating healthily is vital. Consuming a low calorie or low carbohydrate diet is a healthy option.
Weight loss and weight management made easy
Low GI BodyCare Nutrition™ Revitalise helps make it easy for you to lose weight and stop unwanted weight gain, when part of a healthy eating diet and exercise. Revitalise’s healthier carbohydrates break down slower. This results in suppressing hunger and reducing cravings. This also reduces insulin load and insulin resistance.
Reducing Insulin levels The combination of low GI and healthy levels of protein and fibre means Revitalise stops you from snacking. Plus, the soluble fibre in Revitalise reduces carbohydrate absorption, which in turn reduces blood glucose and insulin levels.

Revitalise will keep you feeling full for hours. You may notice your urge to graze between meals decreases.
