Recent research indicates that the NHS's 'soup and shake' diet has shown promising results in reversing type 2 diabetes. The diet, which consists of a strict 900-calorie-a-day liquid regimen, has reportedly led to a remission rate of approximately 27% among participants. Key findings from the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme reveal an average reduction in HbA1c levels by 12.0 mmol/mol and an average weight loss of 14.8 kg. The study highlights that these results are achievable in real-world settings, suggesting that the diet could potentially prevent the need for diabetes medications. The findings were published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, emphasizing the diet's effectiveness in managing type 2 diabetes cases.
