Diet and type 2 diabetes: How The 1:1 Diet helps
The 1:1 Diet has been proven to be twice as effective as the next best diet when it comes to weight loss and reversing diabetes. Backed by years of scientific research, including landmark studies, NHS remission trials and the largest diabetes prevention study of its kind, our clinically proven low-calorie programme can help prevent, manage and even put type 2 diabetes into remission.
Book your free consultationType 2 diabetes (the most common form) is a metabolic disease that is caused by a resistance to insulin and can be a result of a variety of factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, an unhealthy diet, inactivity and excess body weight.
Prior to a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, people develop pre-diabetes - a state in which blood sugar is higher than usual, but not yet high enough to be classed as diabetes.
Both pre-diabetes and diabetes are the result of the same lifestyle and genetic factors, which may lead to heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, kidney problems and inflammation. Any one of these conditions indicates a higher risk of the others occurring. In severe cases, diabetes can lead to blindness or amputation, and those with the condition often have to use one or more drugs to manage it.
In many cases, obesity and type 2 diabetes develop together because they share similar underlying causes. What this means of course, is that for most people, if you treat obesity with weight loss, you improve or reverse diabetes.
