NHS soup and shake diet can beat type 2 diabetes

Adults want to prove that they can treat their type 2 diabetes while sticking with an NHS-approved 900-calorie liquid diet. 
 
But the firmness to it may not be easy especially so according to the findings, indicated below; Shakes, soups and mere meal replacement bars are the only things that dieters are allowed for few months before normal healthy foods can be taken. 
 
Among many thousands invited, 940 satisfied the requirements of the study and finished the year-long programme and data shared by the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal. 
 
A third of them lost considerable amounts of weight, that is, close to 2 and a half stones, 16 kilos, in fact, and reversed their diabetes. 
 
It is a programme that is being provided to persons in England. It is different from the obesity injection Wegovy which will be offered by some selected NHS specialist weight management services. 
 
Diabetes UK added the key thing for people living with type 2 diabetes should be encouraged to seek the best approach that can suit them and this could include medications, diet or bariatric surgery. 
 
The main effect: The shake and soup diet programme is designed and implemented entirely on the NHS and, therefore, there are no charges that the individual will have to meet. They receive individualised cuisine and training consultation face-to-face or via the web, and primary care assistance. 
 
The specialists are convinced that this can be really life changing for the people – if only they can stay with it. 
 
If left unchecked, diabetes can cause the development of various other severe diseases and affects the eyes and nerves. 
 
Dr Clare Hambling, NHS national clinical director for diabetes and obesity, said: ”Health officials have identified obesity as one of the most significant threats to health in the UK and also cited it as one of the biggest and most costly concerns facing the world’s health systems in the future and these very encouraging results from our programme prove that obesity can be tackled through a direct approach. ”

The fifty year old lady, Marie Laing from Frome in Somerset said to the BBC News that she learned she is able to shed over three stone under the NHS soup and shake diet. 
 
Mrs Laing told BBC Radio Somerset: That is when the GP recommended I do this after I had attempted several things on my own and had not achieved success, and for this I am glad. 
 
‘This remission programme, ladies and gentlemen, is not a diet It is a way of life. ’ Understanding about the body, how the food affects the body, why such cravings come, how one must exercise. . . and it is not putting a stop to your having of anything. 
 
So it’s again positive exercise, it’s being with my children and family and out and about, doing things that one enjoys. 
 
She added: ″I clearly remember that she said, ‘It is not easy, but it is well worth it to be able to have your life back. ‘″ 
 
Another user, Juliet, told the BBC: “During the stage of total diet replacement I thought I should be hungry but I was not and the products sustained me, most of them are quite palatable anyway – nothing that I really dislike – but I liked best, the red Thai soup and the shepherd’s pie. ” 
 
Dr Nerys Astbury, associate professor diet & obesity at the University of Oxford, said: Unfortunately, very little is known about how long such remission will last, or indeed, how attaining a state of remission of the disease influences the risk of developing diabetes in future. However, the impact of weight loss cannot be underemphasized; it has numerous health benefits cutting across all populations and perhaps none more vital than for persons with type 2 diabetes. 
 
What is type 2 diabetes and how can the management of it be facilitated through weight loss? 
 
This is a disorder that affects a large population whereby the amount of sugar in the blood stream increases and becomes dangerous. 
 
It occurs when the body produces too little insulin, or when the cells of the body do not respond properly to this hormone. 
 
Certain ailments are believed to be associated with obesity. 
 
This is because of what is known as lipotoxicity – fat accumulating in and around the pancreas – the organ that produces insulin. 
 
As for the cussedness: it recedes – if only the problem of weight can be solved, and the weight is lost. 
 
There is currently Type 1 diabetes which you get when your body attacks your pancreas and you are not fat.
